Cutting Noodles With A Robot

We all know that the Japs are awesome when it comes to inventing new things - i mean look at their electronic streets in Tokyo.. !  and if you have seen their paper thin phone - you know they are the leaders when it comes to any kind of invention.  Impressive is not the word.. becasue if you visit the ramen shoops in Minami - Alps, Yamanshi, you will probably be in awe to seethey have their own robot chef that takes care of the assembly of the noodle bowl while the real chef does the cooking and preparing the noodles but the putting them togehter to create the bowl of your steaming hot ramen is done by the robot.

Customers merely have to input their orders on a computer, and the robot takes care of everything. If you think that this might affect the flavor of the soup somehow, then you are right – but only in the best possible way! The robot can customize the flavors depending on the preferences of the customer. It can measure the different spices and flavorings – up to 40 million different permutations! From the amount of salt, soy sauce, and down to the richness of the soup, you can be sure to have a perfect bowl to match your tastes!

The shop owner, Yoshihara Uchida, is quite proud of his achievement. He worked on this robot for quite a while, meeting a lot of hurdles along the way. Finally, after five years of working on the robot, Uchida was able to launch his creation in December of 2008. He dreams of mass producing this robot and making a name for himself.
