Robot trained to 'taste' as it cooks eggs
A robot has been trained to "taste" food at different stages of the chewing process to check if it is salty enough, in a way similar to humans.The robot had already been trained to make omelettes and tasted scrambled eggs and tomatoes.According to the research, the robot tasted nine different variations of scrambled eggs and tomatoes at three different stages of the chewing process.
In order to imitate the change in texture caused by chewing, the team put the egg mixture in a blender and had the robot test the dish. To imitate tasting in their robot chef, researchers attached a probe - which acts like a saltiness sensor - to a robot arm. Using the probe, the robot "tasted" the dishes in a grid-like fashion, returning a reading in just a few seconds.The researchers found the "taste as you go" approach improved the robot's ability to quickly and accurately assess the saltiness of the dish.
