Anyone looking to spend less time preparing meals could have a solution in the form of the recently launched food one from Nosh Robotics, an AI kitchen gadget that can autonomously cook for you.
All users need to do is load their ingredients into the robot’s tray and then select a recipe. The Nosh One adds the ingredients to its pot at the right time, stirs everything, uses AI to monitor the ingredients with a built-in camera, and completes the meal without needing any intervention along the way. The Nosh app notifies users when the food is ready. They can also use the app to view and edit recipes and schedule meals. The Nosh One is capable of preparing more than 500 dishes, but users can also add their own by describing what they want to cook using natural language and letting the robot’s AI generate a recipe for them.
The robo-chef is available for pre-order on Kickstarter, where pricing currently starts at $1,499. According to Nosh Robotics, it will begin shipping this summer. Upgrades on Kickstarter include additional accessories and a lifetime subscription to Nosh’s Culinary+, which gives users access to all of the robot’s recipes and the ability to edit and create 50 recipes per year.
The edgeLast year, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of Jennifer Pattison reviewed a very similar robot called Posha, which costs the same price as the Nosh One, features a nearly identical design, and also offers to automate cooking with the help of AI. However, the Nosh One has one significant difference: a completely sealed cooking chamber that can be closed while cooking. Unlike the Posha, the Nosh One’s pot and stirring arm are completely covered when the robot’s door is closed, which could help prevent splashes and vapors from escaping.
