Something Fun For Saturday – Robot Soup!

It’s Saturday, so how about a fun story for a change?

Those wacky Japanese are at it again.  This time it’s using industrial robots as chefs to cook a mean noodle soup!

Yes, that’s right.  Kenji Nagoya, owner of the noodle shop, is positively delighted with his move to “hire” a couple of robots to make soup.  “The benefits of using robots as ramen chefs include the accuracy of timing in boiling noodles, precise movements in adding toppings, and consistency in the taste.

The robots also reportedly put on entertaining shows throughout the day.  They do everything from spinning plates to holding sword battles.  And why not?  What else is an industrial robot good for!

It’s almost enough to make me want to visit Japan.

Kind of.
