Gordon Rams-AI! Scientists develop a robot CHEF that can recreate recipes by watching videos

The robo-chef can learn how to create the perfect dish, simply from watching cooking videos. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have programmed a machine to make a meal by following how a human makes it. Using sophisticated AI, the robot is able to work out from every frame which objects it is looking at – such as a vegetable, hand, or knife – and how it is being used. Over time, it is then able to identify which ingredients work best together – and even point out when the human chef may have used the wrong amount. Robotic chefs have been featured in science fiction for decades, but in reality, cooking is a challenging problem for a robot.
