While the RobotHow robot was first engineered to help educate other robots how to understand language, now it has been upgraded to include include several cooking skills so that it can do small tasks such as making pizza or even flip pancakes.
For the RobotHow to learn how to do something as seemingly simple as flip pancakes, every exact movement and motion needs to be understood. Once the process and steps are understood and actionable, RobotHow can upload to wikiHow so that other robots can learn to do the same actions. The end result is quite impressive as the robot is able to flip pancakes entirely on its own just like a human would. It might not be long before everyone starts to have robot chefs making them breakfast.
