Abstract

Robots are the machines designed and developed by humans which are more capable and efficient in doing such works and tasks which humans are unable to do or do with less efficiency. These machines are able to perform the tasks which are hard or impossible for humans. There are many robots which resemble like human, animal or even insects and are employed in different sectors. For example, dogs in bomb squad are now getting replaced by robot dogs which can smell and detect the location of bombs very efficiently. SPOT is the good example to understand the dog robot. SPOT is the name of this machine which is capable of detecting any noise anomaly from equipment being used in industries or factories. As it is equipped with microphone which can detect the noise of whirring or grinding so that those machines can get service done and can work properly. SPOT is also equipped with radiation sensor which can detect and warn about the abnormal levels of radiations which are dangerous for mankind. It can also detect temperature of the boilers by using thermal and IR (infrared) rays and showing extra hot regions. Talking about Insect robots, developed by the Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), are now being used as detective or to keep an eye on enemy actions for military purposes. These are very difficult to distinguish among insects like bees as they can flap their wings and give a realistic sound of bee. Main goal of this insect- sized robot is to utilize them in military purposes like surveillance, security, search and rescue operations. So, in this paper we are going to review the different robots invented in order to assist humans in various activities related to cooking. Some of the robots don’t even require human involvement in their entire working process. And these robots are reviewed on the basis of their technology, ease of use, versatility, level of automation and innovation
