f folding clothes, i wanna just have a robot be my personal chef. the amount of different tasks and capabilities a robot will need to make any meal that I can in my kitchen is huge and i feel like it’s still a while from being solved.
The cooking robots I have seen are massively complex and can only make one dish. I agree this is a ways off.
I saw a cocktail-making robot that was pretty impressive, but it was the size of a room and broke down frequently.
It may sound strange, but cooking is one of the most intense and attention-consuming tasks I encounter.
I have to do it every day too.
So I fully agree with this line of thought... Many a time I have considered that I would happily spend more on a personal 24/7 chef than I ever would on a car. Cars to me are utilities and should simply be efficient and optimized to purpose - food is luxury and taste, it is sublime experience and art. Maybe that's why I can't make it, treating every recipe like a strict command chain isn't how art is done. Can my taste buds be scanned?
Hire a butler/personal assistant that is also a decent cook. Sometimes there is a husband/wife pair. But be ready for substantial expense.
