Robot Monday: Motoman SDA10
2 December 2008 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | 2 comments
Motoman SDA10, an industrial robot manufactured by Yaskawa Electric, demonstrating its ability to cook okonomiyaki at the International Next-Generation Robot Fair happening in Osaka.
As a chef, the Motoman relies on speech recognition technology to take verbal orders from customers. Using standard kitchen utensils, the robot mixes the okonomiyaki batter, pours it onto the iron grill, forms it into a round pancake-like disk, flips it, puts it on a plate when done, and applies condiments.

Neat… but does it do the dishes? or clean the crumbs off the counter?

I'm certain Motoman could. This video shows it assembling a disposable camera.
