Food at college gets high-tech boost with first robotic kitchen in university setting

Denisse Castillo, senior director of residential dining at Florida International University, describes what it's like working with the first robotic kitchen in a campus setting. Hungry students at Florida International University (FIU) near Miami are being fed by a robot these days. "Beastro" – yes, it has a name – is the first robotic kitchen in the country to be used in a university setting, according to FIU. (See the video at the top of this article, and another one down below.) On a recent morning at the Ernest R. Graham University Center on FIU's flagship campus, Beastro prepared chicken teriyaki for Jocelyn Hernandez, 22, a senior studying natural and applied sciences, as Fox News Digital watched and filmed. Soon after, Beastro was busy making a cheese omelet for Pablo Reyes, 20, a junior biomedical engineering student.
