On November 3 at the 2026 World Internet Conference 'Light of the Internet' Expo in Wuzhen, a cooking robot demonstrating 'four-pot simultaneous stir-frying' captivated spectators, completely overcoming common restaurant bottleneck delays.

TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGHFour-Pot Parallel Coordination: One Fresh Meal Every Minute

Inside the transparent cooking booth, automated mechanisms operate with industrial precision: fetching cold-stored ingredients, metering seasonings, sealing the rotating woks, and boxing finished meals. With four woks operating independently in parallel, each dish takes 3 to 4 minutes, sustaining an average throughput of one freshly prepared meal per minute.

“The equipment features four woks, completing each dish in 3 to 4 minutes. By decomposing chef cooking techniques into standardized machine instructions, it faithfully replicates master culinary craftsmanship. These 'AI chefs' are expected to enter mass production by late this year or early next year.” — Deng Yingying, Administrative Director of AIKO

COMMERCIAL OUTLOOKStandardized Culinary Precision Entering Real-World Settings

By translating fine-dining techniques—ingredient timing, spice ratios, thermal dynamics, and tossing mechanics—into robust industrial robotics, AIKO delivers authentic wok aroma without human fatigue. Deployment is accelerating across office parks and senior community dining facilities. (Reporters: Gu Chenyu, Yang Yifan)
