In other news, colleges across the country are placing orders for their new robotic cafeteria chef overlords.

This will be in the Google cafeteria within 6 months.

So, how far away from this are we?

Donnchadha: "So, how far away from this are we?"

I recall watching a video from the sixties about a future in which every home had an appliance that was essentially a refridgerated vending machine with a microwave built in. Premade frozen meals were tagged and read internally and the computer built into the unit kept track of your preferences, weight and nutritional requirements and would recommend meals based on that. When you made your selection it'd vend it internally and then nuke it before dispensing it to you.

Nothing most families would want, I think. However it sounds like a winner for college cafeterias.

That's gonna knock the price of Ramen over the 25 cent point I am willing to pay.

Approves:



Can I get a RAmen?????

Does it all vaguely taste like tea?

Everybody Loves Ramen.

i would gladly pay somewhere between 50¢ - 89¢ per serving for custom ramen.

40 million permutations? Not good enough for the noodle sensei

//obscure???

Waiter, waiter! Sarah Connor is in my soup!

DerekSD: i would gladly pay somewhere between 50¢ - 89¢ per serving for custom ramen.

Well the prices in the article are still 4-5x what you would be willing to pay.

Yes Sound: Well the prices in the article are still 4-5x what you would be willing to pay.

Yeah but it's real ramen, not the stuff in the plastic wrapper.

/wish there was anywhere with good ramen near me

THIS. Despite I prefer northern Chinese style noodles the most, I still like Japanese style ramen, handmade or instant.

traryni: Share and enjoy

If this is their motto, then we can expect a series of dishes that taste almost, but not quite entirely unlike ramen.

A robotic ramen chef? What does robotic ramen taste like?

Hell, I want one. Auto-stock it via some type of belt-driven system connected to the nearest supermarket and I'd never leave the house. One machine for food, another for booze, a third for the used panties of Japanese women... I think I feel a sci-fi novel coming on.

Would the panty vending machine make suggestions just like the meal vendor? High School panties for a light, clean fragrence with a naughty hint of lesbian locker room hijinks; Collegiate panties for the stronger, funkier odor of sweaty tension over final exams; or, for the true panty connoisseur, the unwashed, over-ripe and pungent ammoniac stench of panties worn for a week by a mamma-san with a bladder control problem.

/mention me in your novel's preface

ToddMU03: Does it all vaguely taste not entirely unlike tea?

FTFY.

*shakes tiny fist*

Sir, I'm fluent in over 40 million flavor permutations including the binary relationship of macaroni and cheese"

I waiting for this.

Is this the robot?


/hotlinked

But can it make proper tea?

Loucifer: I waiting for this.

I would never leave the house, between a holodeck and a replicator, I'd never leave home. My every fleeting idea for a project at almost no cost to me? I'd never get anything done, but I'd have plenty of projects on hold...

Oriental flavor please, heavy on the soy sauce

/10c at your local grocer

Surool: Sir, I'm fluent in over 40 million flavor permutations including the binary relationship of macaroni and cheese"

Winnar! Thanks for the lol.

Roast beef. But I haven't got it quite right yet.

I bet with the guy 60 years old having a kitchen robot is helping him quite a bit. Cool article.

However, now I want ramen!
Nobody else in my household will eat it but I have the addiction from my college years.

//grumble kitchen grumble

over 40 million flavor permutations


I want that sweet and salty, but NOT salty and sweet!

BEST Ramen Recipe:

Cook ramen without seasoning. Drain all liquid.

Apply Frank's RedHot Sauce.

Enjoy.

Oh, yeah? well this bot can clean your house, carry on a reasonable conversation, and make hot dogs!
