Expounding Moley’s Robotic Kitchen
The future of home-cooking is here!
Fresh off it’s launch at GITEX, Dubai, the world’s first robotic kitchen by London-based robotics company Moley is set to change the landscape of home-cooking for good. Featuring an advanced, fully functional ‘two-handed’ robot among other avant-garde features, the kitchen system is the brainchild of Russian mathematician and computer scientist Mark Oleynik. The game-changing appliance is a result of six years of research and development by an international team of 100 engineers, product and luxury interior designers, as well as three award-winning chefs!
The Moley Robotic Kitchen allows you to save time, free up your day from routine cooking, plan and adapt your menu according to different diets and lifestyles, enjoy international cuisine anytime, control calories and get cooking tips and recipes from chefs around the world.
Not only does the robot cook complete meals, it tells you when ingredients need replacing, suggests dishes based on the items you have in stock, learns what you like and even cleans up surfaces after itself.
2011 BBC MasterChef winner and culinary innovator, Tim Anderson’s cooking techniques have been captured in 3D and “translated into elegant digital movement using bespoke algorithms.” This creates a reliable reproduction of human manoeuvrability, which is essential to the essence of a home cooked meal. What’s more, along with Anderson, chefs Nicole Pisani and Andrew Clarke have created 30 dishes to showcase the system’s capabilities at launch, with new recipes set to be added every month. The company said that ultimately customers will be able to select from a digital menu of more than 5,000 options, as well as have the option to record their own favourite dishes and family recipes.

FEATURES:
The Moley kitchen is a fully automated kitchen unit, consisting of cabinets, robotic arms and hands, a recipe recording system, a connected GUI screen with access to a library of recipes, and a full set of kitchen appliances and equipment that have been optimized for both for robot and human use.
The robotic apparatus comprises two highly complex robotic hands and different types of sensor that are integrated in high-precise and light weight frame structure. They have the ability to replicate the movements of a human hand, while the robotic chef is capable of recreating the skills of human chefs such as learning new recipes.
Monitor Guided User Interface (GUI)
A sophisticated, large GUI touchscreen is another point of difference for the Moley kitchen. With the help of the GUI, you can instruct the robot to create a particular recipe, define the ingredients, set the temperature for refrigerators, record the new recipes, operate appliances, open drawers and find utensils and ingredients without ever having to touch them. All the information about your kitchen and its settings are displayed on the GUI screen. The GUI screen allows you to operate a complex system with simple operations.
Its library of recipes and tips from chefs allow you to leave the cooking to the robot or choose to cook for yourself when you’re in the mood. As a result, Moley makes healthy eating easy.
Automated protective screen
In addition to the Moley robot’s safety and reliability, we also added an automated protective screen. You don’t need to worry about being scalded by bubbling pans or sizzling sauces.
The automated screen closes when the robot starts the cooking process, preventing people and pets from any interference. If you choose to cook yourself, the protective screen remains open.
Sophisticated robotic hands
Moley’s fully rotational robotic hands are the first of their kind. They were developed in collaboration with the most advanced robotic design teams, using the latest gripping technology and high-precision agility mechanics.
The Moley robotic hands can replicate the movements of a human hand, slide over the workspace, operating utensils and ingredients with care, and are safely stored in the cabinet when you don’t need them.
Smart refrigeration and storage
Eight separate sections of Moley refrigerator maintain an optimum temperature curve for different types of ingredient. Automatic doors are easy to open by both the robot and people.
The fridge is supplemented with special vacuum containers for optimal storage of ingredients. Smart technology keeps track of your stock of ingredients, telling you when you need to top up or replace anything. You can even limit the storage opening times of every section individually to manage calorie-controlled diets or implement password-protected refrigerators, giving you complete control.
Appliance storage
The idea behind the automatic storage system is that any item can be delivered to the cooking area automatically. Smart appliance storage has various sensors allowing the robot to see and find all the appliances, and track their location in real time.
All our appliances are designed in such a way that they are easy to use by both humans and Moley Robot. The robotic kitchen is functionally designed so that everything has its rightful place maintaining clean lines and a minimalist look.

PRICING:
Currently priced at a minimum of £248,000, the device will cater to an extremely select audience, since it costs roughly the same as the average UK house! But the Russian founder isn’t too concerned with the cost…
“What you are looking at here is the world’s first consumer robotic kitchen. Our luxury fully automated smart kitchen is now on sale, and like all breakthrough technologies — cars, televisions and computers — it will appeal to enthusiasts, professionals and early adopters, and is priced accordingly. We anticipate that our pricing will be reduced significantly over time with production volume, efficiencies and economies of scale, whilst simultaneously enhancing additional functionalities of the product.” — Mark Oleynik
