Can a robot cook a paella as tasty as that made by a Spanish chef? Yes it can, according to a master chef who tried it.
Spanish company BR5 has developed a robot that can cook one of the national cuisine's most world-renowned dishes. The product has already provoked the interest of some hotel chains and resorts outside Spain.
"Of course a home-made rice dish on a Sunday will always taste different... We are not aiming at reaching that, our goal is to travel around the world and be able to eat the same rice that we eat in our country, in a different country," founder of BR5, Enrique Lillo, told Reuters.
