An Arlington Heights-based robotics company is betting that customers are ready to dine on food prepared by a robotic chef.
The robots eliminate human error and deliver more consistent taste, said Ajay Sunkara, co-founder and president of Nala Robotics. The company is planning to open a string of restaurants this spring featuring its robotic kitchens, starting in April with its first location in Naperville.
Additional restaurants are planned for Elgin in May and Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood in June.

Watch a robot squid propel itself through water with rhythm | New Scientist
Robot squid that move to a rhythm can match the power efficiency of the real animals, a trick that could be useful for designing next-generation submarines.
Weymouth and his colleagues created an umbrella-like robot with eight 3D-printed plastic ribs covered by a rubber skirt. It flexes outwards to suck in water and contracts to expel it, providing thrust.
The researchers experimented with operating the robot at a range of different opening and closing frequencies, comparing its energy input and output to measure its efficiency.

CES 2021 showed us how robots can ease our pandemic woes - CNET
For robot makers, this is already well within their wheelhouse. There was plenty of evidence at CES that many robot makers have been able to adapt their technology to meet new needs created by COVID.
Reachy, a humanoid robot whose strengths are interaction with humans and object manipulation, first made an appearance at CES last year. But this year, the robot was back with a new skill.
Telepresence robots are nothing new, but this past year has shown us just how many ways they could potentially be useful. For Reachy, who's open-source, there are boundless possibilities to go where humans can't right now and be a proxy for them.
Many things are taking place:
10 Predictions: Multi-purpose Retail Robots | designnews.com
2020 was marked by massive disruptions and unprecedented turmoil. It's also a year of accelerated innovation as businesses pushed automation to keep facilities open and to keep people safe.
A lot of what companies learned during COVID-19 will drive the expansion of automation in 2021 and going forward. These predictions are based on the extraordinary progress automation made during 2020 as the pandemic changed how companies conducted business. The c-suite quickly learned that if they wanted to stay in business, automation was the key. We will likely look back on 2020 as a watershed moment when automation was vigorously embraced, adopted, and expanded.
This 'snake robot' will fix pipelines on the ocean floor - CNN

Robotics, AI and the future of food: 'The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis that robots were built to
In an industry that has long-been wedded to manual, labour intensive processes, the challenges of COVID have opened doors for automation and advanced robotics.
"Manual practices have long been a bottleneck to efficiency and precision in decision-making across the food supply chain. But the restrictions COVID-19 has placed on business operations have - through necessity - opened minds around what automation can bring to the table, and how it can free up time to focus on what really matters," Thomas Slaugh, enterprise solutions business development at Proagrica, told FoodNavigator.
