Soon, all our food will be made by vegan robot chefs

Our love affair with domestic robots that can service our needs started more than five decades ago with Rosie, the maid in The Jetsons. The concept of condensing meals into pills may not yet be a staple of our diets, but robots like Rosie could have – and already are having – a significant impact on how we produce and consume food. Giuseppe is the invention of a group of Santiago-based graduates with engineering and chemistry knowledge, who refer to it as the smartest food scientist on earth. The group recently launched the The Not Company, a brand that's producing vegan dairy and meat products from mainly plant-based ingredients. This is nothing new of course, but Giuseppe's role is to use deep machine learning – a form of training – to understand the molecular structure of food and then copy it. It's like milk, but it doesn't come from a weird bit of a cow (Photo: thenotcompany.com)
