This Robot Makes Pancakes
Yaskawa Electric's Motoman SDA10 robot has been out and about for a little while now (along with its not-so-distant relatives), but it's apparently not just getting by on its good looks alone, and it recently took advantage of Osaka's International Next-Generation Robot Fair to show off its newly developed cooking skills. While there unfortunately doesn't seem to be any video available, the word is it was able to take an order from a customer using its voice recognition capabilities and whip up some okonomiyaki (a pancake, of sorts) from scratch, with it even going so far as to serve it to the customer and top it off with some condiments. As if one human-replacing activity wasn't enough, the bot also recently made an appearance on a Japanese TV show where it assembled a camera and, thankfully, there is a video of that -- check it out after the break.

Now we have to worry about robots taking our jobs? It sounds like a bad Saturday Night Live sketch!!

No.
You'll just get another job... Like designing robots.
Not to mention robots can't design new food, just make it...
Either way, if you're an intelligent or creative person, you're safe. Only unsmart people (who can only follow instructions) need to worry
The day robots can design and build themselves, we'll be out of jobs. But why would you want a job in those times? All our base will belong to them and we will be on our way to destruction anyway

Nah, I'll be happy to live just about off the grid except to pop in every once in a while to make my happy sarcastic comments about people trying to steal my job ;-) When it all comes down to it, I'm prepared to be the one to whom everyone comes running to get what they need because they don't know how. I have a plethora of home economics experience. Something sorely lacking in this day and age.
