Innovate the Kitchen by Robots

“SAVING THE KITCHEN"
To stop draining ourselves
We're committed to bringing robots in the kitchen for simple and physically-demanding tasks, so that the kitchen workers won’t have to exhaust themselves before working on the fun and creative side of their job.
-
“TASTES OF JAPAN”
To the world
Using the basis of kitchen robot business we accumulate here in Japan, we’re going to further introduce the Japanese food culture abroad.
-
“FRESHLY COOKED”
Fun and delicious
We bring out the joy of food with “fun and delicious” dishes prepared through dynamic collaboration with robots.
- ABOUT US -
By creating robots and putting them in motion, our dream is to realize a society where robots and people live in harmony with each other.
"Connected Robotics Inc. develops robots for use in the kitchen to solve the
shortage of workers in the Japanese food industry and to support the rapid growth in popularity of
the Japanese food around the globe. Robot technology has consistently advanced in the past decade,
and we’ll now finally enter a new era where robots actually become present in restaurant
kitchens.
Under current conditions, the food industry might not seem like an attractive place to work anymore.
But, it’s always been a place to bring people together, enjoy good food and have memorable
conversations. Working there should be a valuable choice.
Through robot technology, we aim to contribute to the joy of working in the kitchen and to the happy
moments around the table."
