This pizza-loving robot chef is being taught the craft by one of the masters

A group of engineers from PRISMA Lab at the University of Naples Federico II, led by Prof. Bruno Siciliano, is developing a service robot that is mastering the craft of pizza-making.

The goal of the project is to create a robot that can dynamically manipulate deformable objects, such as the pizza dough, making it able to undertake tasks that are typically considered as human-executed. According to Prof. Siciliano, the project is still under development and its expected year of completion is in 2019 when he wishes to showcase the robot at Naples' pizza festival. Read more...
