Moley Robotics’ Robotic Chef Aims to Revolutionize Home Cooking
Moley Robotics, a UK startup, is making waves in the world of kitchen automation with its ambitious vision of a robotic chef capable of preparing meals at the push of a button. The company has been working on this concept for years, showcasing a demo prototype in 2015.
Now, Moley is seeking funding for the next stage of its journey through a crowdfunding campaign on the Seedrs equity platform. They aim to raise £۱ million, offering 2.6 percent equity, to build a full industrial prototype of the robot kitchen. This prototype will feature robotic arms capable of cooking a range of dishes, equipped with utensils and working from a digital recipe bank. The company envisions this prototype being launched in the European market.
While the concept of a robotic chef may seem like something out of a science fiction film, Moley is confident in its potential to transform home cooking. The company believes that its robotic chef can reduce stress and make meal preparation more efficient, offering a glimpse into the future of high-end kitchens.
However, as with any crowdfunding project, especially one as ambitious as this, it’s important to be cautious about timeframes. Moley plans to launch a production model in 2018, though this is still a tentative timeline. Despite this, the crowdfunding campaign has already attracted over £۴۰۰,۰۰۰ in pledges from over 40 investors, suggesting a strong interest in the concept.
Moley Robotics is not alone in its pursuit of kitchen automation. Sereneti Kitchen, another startup, showcased a robot at CES 2015 that could stir ingredients, with plans to expand its capabilities. While the future of robotic chefs remains to be seen, it’s clear that the technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we cook.
