Robochef learns to 'taste' food at different stages of the chewing process to check whether it's salty enough

A robot chef has been trained to 'taste' food at different stages of the chewing process – just like humans do.

The machine, created at the University of Cambridge, consists of a probe that can detect salt levels in food attached to the end of a robotic arm.

Experts used the robot to taste scrambled eggs during different stages of mastication, including a runny liquid as it would appear just prior to swallowing.

According to the scientists, robotic chefs that 'taste test' dishes instead of humans could be a fixture of busy restaurant kitchens of the future.
