Robby

Robby is an automated culinary robot designed for commercial kitchen environments, specifically engineered to replicate wok hei—the complex smokey flavor achieved through high-temperature wok cooking with precise timing and temperature control. This stationary cooking machine automates all culinary processes including heating, stirring, seasoning application, temperature management, and self-cleaning. Robby handles up to 17.64 pounds of food per batch and can prepare dishes in approximately 2.5–5 minutes. The robot features AI-powered recipe programming, autonomous ingredient loading prompts, and computer-vision monitoring to assess cooking progress and adjust procedures accordingly. It is deployed in commercial restaurants, schools, and food service operations to increase throughput, standardize dish quality, and reduce labor demands in high-volume kitchen settings.
