A fourth-generation AI chef in Japan can prepare pasta rapidly and serve customers on time and has worked at the restaurant for four years.

P-Robo can Swiftly Prepare and Cook Pasta for Consumers With Four Pans

The AI-chef was developed by the robotics firm TechMagic and the Japanese café owner Pronto Corporation. It can not only boil water and make pasta but also clean up afterward.

"P-Robo" is the name of the robotic chef, as was initially reported by Food & Wine. With four pans at its disposal, it can quickly prepare and cook pasta meals to serve its clients on time.

P-Robo, which stands for "Pronto," can quickly create an incredible 90 meals every hour when functioning at full capacity, making it quicker than fast food.

Starting with frozen pasta, the robotic chef quickly defrosts each dish in only 10 seconds before heating it and making the sauces. P-Robo is an actual multi-tasking machine since it only takes 75 seconds to create the first dish and 45 seconds to serve each subsequent dish.

Although China and the United States now control the self-driving vehicle market, Japan prides itself on pioneering "the world of cooking robots" by integrating its industrial and culinary heritage.

The robot has been relentlessly working in the kitchen of E Vino Spaghetti for four years and is a fourth-generation release. The restaurant is not entirely automated, despite Japan Today's claim that it was partly developed to address concerns with human resource development in the food business.

In the next five years, Pronto claims that they want to install P-Robos in up to 50 restaurants and provide P-Robos to other restaurant chains. That is consistent with TechMagic's general strategy for deploying its robots to address issues in restaurants.

To Detect Rip Currents and Protect Swimmers, Japan Uses AI

In Japan, July marks the beginning of beach season. Lifeguards are on duty to keep beachgoers safe as swimmers, sunbathers, and surfers begin to swarm to beaches.

However, one beach on the Pacific coast uses artificial intelligence (AI) to guarantee that visitors have a safe and enjoyable experience while at the beach.

The Mainichi reports that rip currents, which are to blame for 60% of drowning fatalities, have been identified by officials in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, and that the system would alert lifeguards and swimmers nearby.

On Friday (July 1), the famous surfing spot Yuigahama Beach in Kamakura, Japan, reopened to the public after two years of closures due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The meteorological agency predicts that the event will bring sizable visitors during a scorching summer.

According to the Mainichi, experts from Chuo University in Tokyo and the Japan Lifesaving Association collected rip current data over six months in the winter of 2021 to ensure the AI system worked.

A lifesaving group said that a web camera mounted on a pole may detect rip currents and anybody swimming nearby while immediately informing a lifeguard through a wristwatch.

Additionally, Mainichi claims that images were also used to develop a tsunami warning system that gives authorities access to real-time information on swimmers.

The regional campaign to fight rip currents is a part of a wider one to reopen the beach after the epidemic cut it off and highlight the area's environmental credentials. About 20 beaches in the prefecture have been off-limits for the last two summers, and Yuigahama is one of those beaches.
