Did you think robots only do repetitive tasks, at most serving coffee? It’s time to refresh your imagination! Recently, a startup in the United States launched an eye-catching, all-pink ‘robot maid’ named Figure 01, and the coolest part? She can cook meals for you!
This humanoid robot, Figure 01, is not just about looks; her hands and feet are almost identical to those of a real person! She can help you fry eggs and stir-fry dishes in the kitchen, moving so smoothly that even her human chef competitors might feel inadequate. Watching her in videos, you almost forget she isn’t human, and her elegant, focused cooking style could easily make her an influencer!
Even more astonishing is that the backers of this company include Elon Musk, the famous founder of Tesla! Their ambitions go beyond just creating a household robot; they want Figure 01 to enter various industries like dining, caregiving, retail, and logistics, taking over ‘tough jobs’ for humans. Imagine a future where robots quietly clean, cook, and take care of the elderly and children in your home, making life super chill!
Although Figure 01 is currently still in the experimental phase (her record for frying eggs is over ten at a stretch), the tech world is buzzing about the possibility that every household will soon have a cooking robot. This could eliminate the hassle of hiring help!
However, the biggest concern remains safety. The company emphasizes that Figure 01 is equipped with multiple sensors and protection systems that prevent dangerous actions and respect privacy. Of course, the price will likely not be very friendly, considering this is a ‘dream-level’ product that will definitely start off costly. But once mass production occurs and technology becomes more widespread, having a robot cooking for you may not be a dream anymore!
What if one day, a versatile maid like Figure 01 walks into your kitchen? Would you be tempted? Share your thoughts in the comments!
