will be selling automated kitchens, faithfully reproducing every step and gesture of top Michelin chefs. Consumer units will cost $20,000 with a refrigerator and dishwasher included. Of course they may easily do the work of a sous chef working with a chef, or replace the entire staff of fast food and chain restaurants.

A journalist asked why Moley's consumer robot chopped onions so slowly - they said consumers in focus groups found the culinary robot chopping onions as quickly as it could with a sharp knife was disturbing - so they slowed it down to a pace consumers were more comfortable with. If it's not Moley within a year, it will be many competitors withing five years. Big changes afoot.
