Cooking robots: 1,000 shipped. 8 million in funding.

About this video

Sam and Shaan meet a robotics founder whose company has shipped 1,000 cooking robots to homes. The founder explains their vision of using computer vision and AI to create affordable, fresh home-cooked meals as an alternative to expensive takeout or time-consuming cooking, and demonstrates the robot preparing spaghetti alfredo for $1,500.

Key takeaways

• The founder’s company is backed by Excel and has raised $8 million after starting as a project 8 years ago in India and formalizing 5 years ago
• Their cooking robot uses fresh ingredients (pasta, garlic, butter, olives, etc.) and positions itself as solving the problem that takeout is expensive and home cooking takes too long
• The robot costs $1,500, which the founder claims is less than a month of takeout for a family of four, and demonstrated making spaghetti alfredo that Sam and Shaan rated highly
