If you’re wondering whether to order takeout right now, I urge you to stop reading this article.

Because your ROBOT AI is baking a delicious pizza, filled with your favorite bacon, fat sausage, and cheese, and a delicious crust. And it’s a pizza that can be enjoyed at home without the need for a Michelin chef or waiting in line at an influencer’s restaurant.

A good meal needs no chef

As an aside, there is a scene in citibank’s animated film “Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs” in which a huge rain of food falls from a cloud in the sky.

The story centers on a small-town science geek who is full of brilliant ideas, but has long been disliked by the whole town for his immature and impractical inventions.

Small town residents have been eating only sardines, so the protagonist is dedicated to making food machine, because of an accident, he invented the food machine floated into the air, accidentally realized its special function: a magical opportunity to get water from the cloud, after some changes to produce food, falling to the ground.

What’s more, because of the cloud’s constant supply, it creates an endless supply of food. Any kind of food is available at the command of the computer.

The people of the small town bid farewell to the single sardine from now on, enjoy the glutenous feast from the sky.

Of course, this is an animated film, because the story needs to be there is certainly some illogic. But there are plenty of interesting Settings, such as ice cream snow scenes, jelly palaces and, later, runaway spaghetti tornadoes.

In reality, if you want to meet a pie in the sky, I’m afraid it’s a daydream in a trance.

In real life, we rely on ingredients and chefs to make a good meal. But more recently, there’s been a lot of research into using AI to eliminate the need for “chef” in a good meal.

Robot pizza maker

Last year Zume, a pizza company based in San Francisco, started using robots to make pizzas for its customers. Robots now churn out 400 pizzas an hour, far faster than humans.

The company also has a smart unmanned delivery solution.

They use intelligent planning to figure out the best delivery route.

Moreover, AI can predict the possible time and place of the next order by analyzing the data of user consumption behavior from a large number of orders.

During delivery, the nearly finished pizza is loaded into a smart automated delivery van, which delivers the pizza according to the user’s needs.

Using gpS-BASED predictive algorithms, the delivery van’s ovens turn on four minutes before it arrives at the finish line to complete the final steps and ensure it’s freshly baked and hot when it arrives at the finish line.

Automated production and optimal delivery services ensure that users can get delicious pizza in the shortest time.

Don’t trust AI to do, also can let AI supervision

Another pizza giant, Domino’s, which some of you have probably eaten, also started using AI to monitor the quality of its pizzas in 2017.

The AI system, called DRU AI Pizza Checker, is designed to solve customer complaints. For example, pizza toppings, baking mistakes and poor quality problems can get immediate feedback and improvement from it.

Its main body is a camera and a sensor placed to monitor the preparation and cooking process, using AI to capture and analyze pizza photos to ensure the correct production process to meet consumer satisfaction requirements.

In addition, the system will process information intelligently. The owner receives data on the quality of all pizza orders, and the customer also receives a photo message about the pizza.

Domino’s says the system can analyze and report in under three seconds, effectively improving the quality of pizza.

While these robots have mastered the steps of making pizza even more skillfully than humans, and AI has stepped in at the consumer level, basically all they can do is replace the complicated labor and make the recipe according to the chef’s design.

Can AI be smarter? For example, what happens when you hand over recipe making to the AI?

You can also have the AI come up with pizza recipes

In a report in September, cookbook AI finally arrived.

Pinar Yanardag, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT Media Lab, and his friends developed an AI model that synthesised hundreds of pizza recipes online to generate new ones.

This catapulted AI from server and supervisor to absolute chef.

The key of this model is that it has a powerful text generation network module — TextGenrnn, which is often used to generate phrases from text data sets.

The research team tested the usefulness of the AI model. Working with the chef at a local pizzeria, they tested the AI’s recipe.

As it turns out, the AI can indeed come up with new recipes that wouldn’t normally come up with, such as blueberry spinach feta pizza or bacon avocado peach pizza.

However, since AI is difficult to analyze human taste perception, the addition of human’s different ingredients and seasonings in the formula will be somewhat unsatisfactory, such as the lack of some meat, sauces and cheese.

However, the model has come up with a number of bizarrely-sounding recipes that are ok and even approved by chefs, such as shrimp, jam and pepperoni.

But as far as their research is concerned, the recipes need to be made by hand before they are ready for the dinner table. Because there’s no manufacturing involved in their plan.

The AI model only gives the recipe, while the chefs process and bake it. By doing so, they hope to show that AI is not going to take people’s jobs, but will become a good assistant to them.

Give all the process to the AI?

I know you have a bold idea: what if you combined a robot that makes pizza with an AI that makes recipes?

Emmm, this is a question for us melon eaters, pizza-eaters, just wait and see when the big scientists put them together.

By the way, don’t develop pizza-eating robots, or we’ll just be spectators all the time.
