What’s cooking in Tokyo’s International Food Machinery 1 and Tech Expo? For this robot chef, it’s Okonomiyaki-Japanese pancakes. One of a crew of sideboard servers dishing out the latest at the industrial event,Toyo Riki President Narito Hosomi says robots aren't just for factory use.
"We all know that robots can be very useful. We want to take that utility out of the factory, so they can be used elsewhere."

Japan, home to almost half of the world’s 800,000 industrial robots, has seen as a $ 10 billion market within a decade, while robots currently work as temporary stuff, ease for the elderly, and perhaps soon in some finer dining establishments across the globe.
