Artificial Intelligence + Technology Aesthetics Bringing You a Smart, Attractive, and Futuristic Kitchen

Designed by a team that has won the German Red Dot Award, the inBot Chef features both a minimalist Nordic design and the aesthetics of Japanese interior design. It is equipped with retractable arms and combines technology and humanization, to create a stunning, new smart kitchen appliance with supreme taste, just for you.

Replicating the Cooking Skills of Master Chefs To Deliver a Michelin-star Level Experience for You at Home

The ingredients are carefully selected and all cooking details are fine tuned by master chefs. Then, cooking techniques are digitized and imported into the robot, and Deep Learning is employed to recognize the ingredients and kitchen utensils. This, combined with AI technologies such as object tracking and path planning, allows the robot to reproduce cooking skills possessed only by master chefs.

Automated Cooking Mode

Human-Robot Collaboration Mode

One Kitchen, Two Modes

All you need to do is unpack the ingredients and place them in the designated area on the kitchen table, and leave the rest to the robot, which can recognize and pick them, and control other kitchen appliances to replicate  the cooking skills of master chefs. No human assistance is required!
This mode presents you with an interactive visual system where you’ll find all the cooking instructions required to make dishes on par with those cooked by culinary professionals.

Order fresh ingredients anytime from your app

Visual Interaction, Easy-to-use

The robot’s smart projection feature, combined with a large screen, and lighting and sound effects, allows you to easily order, add ingredients, and cook. It gives you a real-time overview of the cooking process, with no training required. In Human-Robot  Collaboration Mode, cooking instructions are given in real time to help you stay on top of every cooking step as if you were guided by a real culinary expert in person.

Order from your mobile app anytime and have semi-finished fresh ingredients delivered to your home with cold chain services. Get a real-time view of your cooking, as well as personalized diet & nutrition advice, to live a smart, wonderful life.

Know’s inBot OS Gives Robots a Smart Life

Know’s home-grown inBot OS has integrated vision-guided robot arms, motion control algorithms, and a perception and decision-making system. It also provides an intelligent teaching system, a backend management system, and a wealth of AI APIs. These functions allow our products to quickly adapt to and perform well in various living scenarios.

Home-grown Perception and Decision-making System

Our perception and decision-making system has successfully tackled challenging problems such as how to operate in a complex kitchen environment, the requirement for highly precise robotic operations, and a complicated decision-making logic.

Accurate Image Recognition

We have applied Deep Learning to the kitchen scenario. For example, computer vision technologies such as image recognition, object segmentation and tracking, are adopted to obtain accurate 3D information of the ingredients, kitchenware, and the operating environment, which can then be utilized by the robotic arms to pick ingredients, avoid obstacles, and move around.

Smart Motion Planning

The path planning algorithm we developed in-house is able to dynamically plan a motion path for the robotic arms based on the real-time position of ingredients, tableware, and kitchen utensils. The algorithm, coupled with strength control, allows the robotic arms to accurately pick up items and avoid obstacles, thus realizing full smart movement and autonomous decision-making.

Safety Protection

Multiple protection measures are provided to ensure a safe, reliable operating environment.  When cooking, the robot can efficiently detect foreign objects in real-time, and stop its operations when necessary, to ensure the safety of both people and itself.

Constant development and  updating of the recipes

OTA Upgrade

A Smart Kitchen Constantly Being Updated

Empowered by our learning system, the smart kitchen robot can accurately reproduce the movements and cooking skills of master chefs, and quickly learn to make dishes using various cooking methods such as frying, roasting, boiling, and baking. The collection of recipes is under constant expansion and development.
The whole smart kitchen set supports remote OTA software upgrades. When a system update notification appears, users can operate and update their devices to receive new recipes, and enjoy our continuous upgrade services.
