There were a lot of food-tech products at this year's CES. From an instant ice cream maker to a full-blown chef bot that makes gourmet dishes in under a minute, the future of food tech seemed promising. Here are some of the best autonomous culinary robots. 



Richtech Robotics' ADAM is an interactive bartender and barista robot. 



Behind the counter, ADAM was busy preparing various coffee drinks, and people were observing ADAM's art of latte-making inquisitively and intently. 

 


ADAM can make a wide variety of drinks, including coffee, boba tea, cocktails, and more. ADAM's arms were handling complex motions like mixing, pouring, and dispensing the ingredients to create perfectly blended drinks. 



This ingenious and high-tech robot bartender has grabbed a celebrity like Kendall Jenner's attention. Jenner "hired" ADAM for the launching of her 818 Tequila bottle. 



Because ADAM can handle making bulk drinks, it is going to be great for hosting large events like corporate parties or weddings. 



ADAM follows the recipes with the utmost precision for every drink, so each cup of latte and glass of cocktail will taste consistently amazing. 



Coffee, anyone?

Sigma Phase's ColdSnap is an automatic frozen dessert robot that makes various frozen confections in under 2 minutes. 

Sigma Phase has won the CES 2021 Innovation Awards with its ColdSnap, and it is indeed so cool! 



Once you insert a shelf-stable, single-serve pod inside the machine, it scans the QR code and makes frozen desserts like premium ice cream, smoothies, and cocktails. 



ColdSnap's Pods



ColdSnap uses the rapid freezing system to transform liquid product mixes inside the pod into frozen treats. Sigma Phase boasts that its ColdSnap makes its frozen confections with the smallest possible ice crystal size, resulting in the most ideal and preferred consistency.



I was impressed with the small size of ColdSnap - most frozen treat machines or ice makers are huge, but not ColdSnap. It was small and compact enough to be displayed on a breakroom countertop. 



I want it!

The Hall of Famer goes to Yo-Kai Express, an autonomous vending machine that makes bowls of satisfying meals on demand.

 


When I saw this, I thought it was going to be so useful on university campuses. Imagine getting a hot bowl of udon after a late-night cram session - heaven! 


If you come from an Asian heritage, you understand how much a sizzling bowl of hot soup or noodles can do for your soul. It's almost sacred with healing properties. Yokai is an ancient mythical creature that can appear anytime and anywhere. Yo-Kai Express was inspired by the ubiquitous nature of this spirit figure when creating a food robot that can create food 24/7, on demand. The Octochef, a brand mascot, embodies and highlights the spiritual experience of eating satisfying meals. 


Yo-Kai Express is an autonomous restaurant that makes various menus in under a minute. It is always ready to serve you sizzling bowls of ramen, udon, pasta, and more. 

These are the dishes that Yo-Kai Express can make.

Yo-Kai Express partnered with a Michelin chef to create these recipes, so that these dishes are delicious and high-quality - consistently.
