Robotic kitchen restaurant opens up in Boston

Four MIT graduates have opened up one of the world's first restaurant with a robotic kitchen that cooks complex meals.

The Spyce restaurant employs a series of seven cooking woks in place of human chefs, which is able to serve up to 200 meals an hour.

The Boston eatery's menu is based on a half-dozen bowls with flavors that are common in Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Every bowl starts at $7.50, and customers can add on other proteins for an additional cost.

Customers order via a touch-screen device, while humans are employed as customer service and to garnish the dishes with toppings.

Then an ingredient delivery system collects the ingredients and portions them, before delivering them into one of the robotic woks.

The pre-portioned ingredients are then mixed in the cylindrical, rotating drums and cooked at about 232 C using induction technology.

Once this process is complete, the pot tilts downwards and tips the food into a bowl.
