Gastronomy
Empowering chefs with AI and robotics,
to unleash creativity in recipe creation and execution
Our Approach
To enhance chefs’ creativity, we’re looking to apply AI and robotics throughout the creation process. We’re using AI systems to put vast amounts of food data into the hands of chefs, supporting their knowledge and skills when it comes to ingredient selection and pairing. And we’re building robots that can manipulate various food items and cooking utensils with high precision, dexterity and speed, to assist chefs in their cooking and plating processes. To develop these goals, we’re partnering with organizations across the industry, from chefs and restaurants to universities, tech companies and food suppliers.
