Seen here looking unsure which one to stick up up your butt and which one to stab you with, CIROS the robot prepares a salad. Later in the video he actually slices the cucumber, which, if you pretend its a peen like I did, is pretty terrifying.

Hit the jump for the video.

Thanks to Matt and Barak, who both mentioned hating robots in their emails and have made their way into my good graces.

    B21 Kitchen Robot (AKA: The Kitchen Killer)
    July 21, 2008
    The B21 Kitchen Robot was designed to know where everything in your kitchen is via RFID tagging and help you prepare meals. In reality, the robot will probably just stab you. The blue barrel bastard was created by the Technical University of Munich and even has the capability... / Continue →

    The Throwzini Knife Block isn't your ordinary knife receptacle. Okay it is, but at least it looks good. Reminiscent of this knife rest, it resembles the 'Rotating Wheel of Puncture Wounds' I saw at a circus once as a kid. It was awesome, the dude caught a knife right in the le... / Continue →

    Anyone else feel like they just completed a quest in an rpg just listening to the music? And as others have said it would only be classified as scary had the robot been chopping much faster.

    Bad Robot! Wash that knife when you are done with it!

  • Is this supposed to be impressive? Robots have been doing this type of shit for years,

  • From the title, I thought the knife was wielding the robot at first. Also, those cucumber slices are way too thin. I like my cucumber thick. =|

  • MC

    Really, I thought I was the only one. I hate it when the slices are too thin, you don't taste the freshness or the crunch, they are just limp and flimsy. In salads I make sure they are extra thick, so the other vegetables are complimented by the additional taste. We should make salads together sometime; I'll bring the cucumber! = :o }

    Oh, for a second I read Knife Wielding Rob... Oh Shiny Jebus!

    It cannot even do uniformed cuts. Each slice was a different size...not to mention slow. When it starts picking up and throwing knifes...I will start worrying then.

    You ain't from 'round deese parts, is yah?

    Ah yes, the Lorena model... wise choice, sir!

    Also... I feel like if they had wanted to, they could have instructed the robot to cut faster... and it would have been fucking terrifying.
