Anyone who wishes they could spend less time on meal preparation may have a solution in the form of Nosh Robotics’ recently launched Nosh One, an AI kitchen appliance that can autonomously cook for you.
Users simply load their ingredients into the robot’s tray and then choose a recipe. Nosh One adds ingredients to your pot at the appropriate time, stirs everything, uses AI to monitor the ingredients with a built-in camera, and completes the meal without requiring any intervention along the way. Nosh’s app notifies users when food is ready. They can also use the app to view and edit recipes and schedule meals. Nosh One is capable of creating over 500 recipes, but users can also add their own by telling them what they want to cook using natural language and allowing the robot’s AI to prepare a recipe for them.
Robo-Chef is available for pre-order on Kickstarter, where its price currently starts at $1,499. According to Nosh Robotics, it will begin shipping this summer. The upgrade on Kickstarter includes 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 up to 50 recipes per year.
The VergeJennifer Pattison Tuohy last year reviewed a very similar robot called Posha, which costs the same as the Nosh One, has an almost identical design, and also offers to automate cooking with the help of AI. However, the Nosh One has one key difference: a completely sealed cooking chamber that can be closed when cooking. Unlike the Posha, the Nosh One’s pot and stirring arm are completely covered when the robot door is closed, which can help prevent splashes and smoke from escaping.
