The Moley robot chef is likely
to have a major impact on our
health and wellbeing, aa well the
companies that are now enjoying
growth around pre-prepared meals
and the online ordering and home
delivery of take away foods. With
your own robot chef, you will
be able to enjoy healthy, freshly
cooked, high-quality meals every
day, with less effort than it takes
to order a takeaway or reheat a
supermarket or home delivered preprepared meal.
The Moley Robotic Kitchen is
revolutionary for more than its
automated cooking; it is also an
iTunes-style library with a growing
collection of recipes from around
the world. Initially it starts with a
plate of ingredients, eventually the

human. A crowd funded project,
Jibo is the world’s first social robot
for the home, designed to learn as
you engage with him.
It’s in the workplace however,
that we will see the biggest
impact. As businesses scramble
for competitive advantage and
improvements in productivity, along
with rapidly rising labour costs in
developing economies, advanced
robotics will be the go-to solution to
drive efficiencies and reduce costs.
The shift towards automation is
not new of course, but it’s the pace
of the shift and the tasks that are
being automated that are already
catching many off guard.
Advanced robotics can complete
many manufacturing tasks
more efficiently, effectively, and
consistently than human workers,
leading to higher output, often
with less workers, better quality,
and less waste. Robots will free
