First, there’s the intriguing concept of a Robot Chef. While it doesn’t resemble a whimsical figure in a chef’s hat, it does feature a set of advanced robotic arms that emerge from the ceiling. These arms are equipped with highly sophisticated hands that can whip up impressive dishes. A culinary champion, Ryan Morgan, who won BBC’s MasterChef in 2011, programmed it to create a flawless crab bisque using motion-sensitive gloves and wristbands. After a few attempts, it now consistently delivers perfection. However, this robot demands a perfectly organized kitchen, making it an unlikely guest in my home.
Next up is the robot bartender! The Makr Shakr, another set of robotic arms, specializes in crafting cocktails. It’s already making waves on some Royal Caribbean cruise ships in their “Bionic Bars.” While it’s certainly more versatile than its bisque-making counterpart, many people cherish the personal touch of a human bartender—robot arms just can’t replicate that experience.
Then we have Tomatan—a quirky Japanese invention that offers a service few knew they needed. Picture this: a backpack-like robot that holds a tomato right in front of your mouth while you jog! Tomato consumption is quite popular during marathons in Japan, but practicality is questionable.
Despite these creative ideas, I’ve thought of robots that would genuinely simplify life for moms everywhere:
- Clothes-Picking-Up Robot
My 7-year-old daughter sheds her clothes like a snake sheds its skin, leaving a trail throughout the house. A robot that follows her and picks up her garments as she discards them would save me time and sanity. - Nagging Robot
Imagine a robot stationed in the kitchen during breakfast, reminding my kids to finish their waffles or let them know they still have milk left! It could also help with evening cleanup, reminding me to tidy up too—I could use the encouragement. - Multitasking Enabler Robot
I need extra arms, and robotic ones will do! A helpful robot could carry my coffee and hold my iPad to check the weather while I get ready in the morning. If Tomatan offered coffee instead of tomatoes, I’d wear it all day. - Laundry-Folding Robot
This one needs no explanation—it’s a mom’s dream come true. - Backpack-Checking Robot
A robot that ensures my daughter’s backpack is organized would help me avoid missing crucial field trip forms or discovering old food remnants days later. - Toilet Paper Roll-Changing Robot
Surely, someone else can take on this task besides me! - What’s-for-Dinner Robot
Deciding dinner can be more daunting than cooking it, unless crab bisque becomes a daily choice.
