Robot Chefs Run Restaurant in Japan
 

The FuA-Men (Fully Automated raMen) restaurant in Nagoya, Japan features a chef and assistant — both fully autonomous robots. The robots perform all of the cooking tasks needed to make eighty bowls per day, serving the customers who come to their small shop.

When asked, customers seem to feel that there is little difference between noodle dishes prepared by real, human chefs, and meals prepared by autonomous robots. For those who appreciate precision in food preparation, you can't beat robot chefs.

I saw this on the web this morning. Has anyone eaten here and if so how is the ramen?

Interesting! Will try to drop in when I'm in Nagoya next month. Here's the Japanese site:

Looks like the robots run at about 1/3rd the speed of a Japanese human ramen maker!
