Atom is capable of assisting in food preparation like a human being and it could also do it based on specification.

In the video posted on YouTube by Dobot Robotics, Atom was seen toasting bread, handpicking lettuce and adding to food.

Atom robot added sausages, meat, and honey and poured a cup of milk all of which it arranged accurately in a tray.

The robot showcased its precision and dexterity especially as it knew exactly what quantity of each item was enough.

The robot is equipped with 7.7 times the industry-standard computing power.

Also, it is powered by Dobot’s Robot Operator Model – 1 (ROM-1) which enables it to adapt to instructed environments. The company refers to the robot as a kitchen assistant.

Dobot Robotics says:

“Today, we have a special guest in the kitchen—our Atom, the humanoid robot! Watch as it effortlessly whips up a delicious, nutritious breakfast—from perfectly toasted bread to carefully picking up lettuce and cherries. Atom is the ultimate kitchen assistant! What’s even more amazing? Atom learns your preferences! Like a cup of milk? Atom remembers. Prefer your toast to be just a little crispy? No problem! It’s like having a personal chef who knows you inside out.”

Apart from assisting with food preparation, Dobot says the Atom robot could spice up one’s morning with funny banter.

The company says:

“But it’s not just about the food. Atom makes mornings fun! With its friendly demeanour and witty banter, it turns breakfast prep into a delightful experience. No more grumpy mornings—just smiles and great food! Ready to upgrade your breakfast game? Atom is here to make mornings magical. Let’s start the day right—with Atom by our side!”

However, some people who saw the video on YouTube argued that the Atom robot did not really prepare the food, but just handpicked and arranged them in a tray.

Reactions to video of robot preparing food

@jeffreyropp said:

“I panicked just a little when it casually and roughly shoved the “fryer” aside. Breakfast is served. Kitchen is on fire.”

@banjo-beard said:

“I think they meant “puts stuff on a plate for you.”

@mobileprofessional said:

“Speed up footage much? Human voiceover?”

@theultimatenewplayer9341 said:

“Looks like stop-motion animation.”

@onsenguy said:

“Teleoperated? does everything need to be laid out for him? also, he doesn’t cook.”

@grakkerful said:

“This is impressive, but I’d like to see the process start without everything already laid out. If I go throught the trouble of laying everything out like that, hell, I might as well just make my breakfast instead. I know, I know, it’s just a demonstration.”

Scientists discover how water was created

In a related story reported by TheTalk.NG, a group of scientists have discovered how water was formed in the universe millions of years after the Big Bang.

The scientists stated that water molecules began forming shortly after what they called the first supernovae explosions.

According to the work published in the journal Nature Astronomy, the explosions created heavy elements, such as oxygen, required for water to exist.
