Chinese scientists invent first cooking robot

www.chinaview.cn 2006-10-10 11:01:00

BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's first cooking robot, named AIC-AI Cooking robot, has been invented by scientists in Shenzhen in south China's Guangdong Province.

The robot, developed by Fanxing Science and Technology Co. Ltd in Shenzhen, is capable of Sichuan, Shandong and Canton cuisines and can cook thousands of Chinese dishes, according to a report in the Shenzhen Economic Daily.

The company spent four years and more than 2 million yuan (about 250,000 U.S. dollars) to develop the robot, said Liu Xinyu, executive director of the company.

Scientists translated standardized human cooking actions into machine language. The robot is happy to fry, bake, boil and steam, and can perform other special Chinese cooking actions.

At a show held by the company on Sunday, the robot cooked a dish of beautifully-flavored, attractive-looking shrimp in five minutes, said the newspaper.

The robot will help standardize Chinese fast food, said Cai Hegao, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The robot will go on sale in 2007, and will enter Chinese homes sometime in the future, Liu Xinyu added. Enditem

wow, I want to buy one to help prepare my daily meals.

AdamChobits · October 12th, 2006, 02:29 PM

There were already robots that could cook. Robots that take all the simple ingredients and make the food. Or is that you all believe all that food we find done in the groceries and super markets were made by humans? The best robot in europe that makes Shushi is from Netherland...

However, this chinese robot has an image that fits more with the tipically idea about robots...

Its nice!

Actually, for something to qualify as a robot, it has to possess AI, which means self awareness, independent thinking. If this "Robot" is merely a programmed machine in a humanoid form, then there really no so called "invention", as it is based upon existing technology, not reallying any break through.

Nearly one-third of this year's R&D is being conducted in the United States, compared with 13.4 percent in China. But America's share is declining, while China's is growing, and that trend will continue next year, according to Battelle.

kelvinyang · October 16th, 2006, 03:46 PM

This report is seriously questionable. Look at the table of "Perceived Technology Capability". This table was derived from polls. Probably only Indians were asked in the poll. How can India have better telecommunication technology than USA? How can India have better electronic research than China. As far as I know, India almost has no semiconductor industry. It only has several design house. How can India have better nanotechnology than China? China has far more publication in nanotechnology than India. How can India have better energy research than China? China's electricity generation is five times more than India. How can India have better basic research than China? China publishes far more academic papers than in India. This report must be joking.

I have found that India often perform better than China in poll, but China alway perform better in data. India must have done good job in publicity.

cyberjaya · October 16th, 2006, 06:54 PM

It's a "Perceived" Technology Capability so just take it easy. Focus more on China and US in this report.

It's a pity the report measures only on PPP GDP not nominal GDP. I believe the nominal GDP can give a better idea on the real R&D expenses and total precentage shares.

wigo · October 16th, 2006, 07:15 PM

It depends. If in a field China can wholy relies on herself perticularly national defence research, 1 RMB = 1~2 US$.

You can also check how much China spent on developing EAST superconducting Tokamak.

In general, PPP is more reliable than nominal.

中国首座实验快堆将于2010年试验发电

http://www.sina.com.cn 2006年10月16日17:20 新华网

　　新华网成都10月16日电（记者徐博安蓓海明威）中国核工业集团公司总经理康日新在16日开幕的“第21届国际聚变能大会”上说，正在建设中的功率为65兆瓦的中国首座实验快堆将于2009年6月建成达到临界，2010年6月试验发电。

　　快堆是一种先进的反应堆，也是目前唯一能够实现核能增值的先进堆型。快堆可大幅提高天然铀资源的利用率，对促进核电持续发展，解决中国后续能源供应问题具有重要意义。

　　目前，俄罗斯、英国、德国、美国等国家都已建成快堆，俄罗斯一个60万千瓦的商用快堆已运行了26年。

　　快堆建设凝聚了新中国几代人的心血。早在二十世纪六十年代后期，周恩来总理亲自批准将50公斤浓缩铀用于快堆零功率建设。九十年代后期，中国和俄罗斯签署有关协议，合作建造和运行这座快中子实验堆。计划建设的实验快堆热功率为65兆瓦，实验发电功率约20兆瓦。（完）

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EAST

In this wiki-article about EAST superconducting tokamak, it says

According to official reports, the project's budget is a relatively small CNY ¥300 million (approx. USD $37 million), some 1/15 to 1/20 the cost of a comparable reactor built in other countries.

It clearly shows even PPP underestimates RMB if China can fully rely on herself.

PPP is more reliable estimate of National fortune, which is the exact reason why Japan, S Korea, Taiwan and Singapore's currencies appreciated by about 2~4 fold. As China's PPP per capita graduately approaches rich countries, we are going to witness a similar appreciation of RMB.

Actually,it' s the first robot that can cook Chinese food.

How much is this thing? I would say hiring a countryside nanny is probably more cost effective.

Still at its infancy, but there are already several products ready to enter market.

Go China.
