About the robot’s name:

“Hot Snack” is a common name for Japanese deli sold in convenience stores in Japan. They are usually cooked in the store, kept and served warm. Japanese people call these “hot snacks” because they use the term “hot” to describe warm foods, not because they are “spicy”. Even though “hot snack” could confuse English speakers with its meaning, we named our robot this way so that the domestic customers can intuitively understand the function of the robot.
