This particular robot will not exhibit all that much movement, simply because there is no need to be agile, but what this boxy contraption carries would be a slew of sensors alongside microchips. Known as the e-delicious machine, it will be able to scan through various food samples in order to come up with a chemical signature, where in turn it will perform a measurement against a standard that is touted to be the real deal.
The Thai Delicious Committee, which is financed by the government, has overlooked the e-delicious machine’s development, having described it to be as “an intelligent robot that measures smell and taste in food ingredients through sensor technology in order to measure taste like a food critic.” Will future Thai restaurants that want to draw in customers feature an e-delicious robot stamp of approval?
