Chef Robotics is launching an AI-powered flexible food robot made to help food companies overcome the global food labour shortage and increase production volume.
Chef Robotics’s go-to-market is food manufacturing (though not for restaurants) where the company can partially automate a food operation. This then adds value in production to customers without requiring 100% full autonomy from the get-go.
With 1,137,000 unfilled jobs and an annual staff turnover rate of more than 150%, Chef Robotics estimates that the US industry most in need of AI-enabled robotics is the food industry.
Rajat Bhageria, found of Chef Robotics, said: “Nobody has scaled intelligent robots at a massive scale. Just as Tesla ushered in the electric vehicle revolution, so too are we posed to help usher in the intelligent robotics revolution.”
Chef Robotics’ solutions utilises the proprietary ChefOS, an AI platform for food manipulation, to offer a recurring revenue solution that helps industry-leading food companies increase production volume and meet demand.
The robots thus essentially act as data ingestion engines to train Chef’s AI models to better adapt to variances in food and plate almost any ingredient, of any portion size, in any container over time.
In turn, Chef engineers can train ChefOS on real-world data accumulated from robots deployed at customer production sites, with its solutions currently operating in six cities across North America.
