AI Robots Enter the Kitchen: Oak Robot Makes Global Debut with Three Cooking Robot Products

Oak Robot unveiled three new products at the 2026 World Robot Conference. Among them, the 3K Vision AI Cooking Robot uses three industrial cameras to observe changes in ingredients inside the wok in real time, while an AI foundation model autonomously adjusts the heat to address inconsistencies in cooking results. Another product, the “Fresh-Cooked Ark,” is a mobile unmanned restaurant. #2026WorldRobotConference#

AI Robots Enter the Kitchen: Oak Robot Debuts Three Cooking Robots

According to Xinhua Net, Oak Robot globally debuted three new products today at the 2026 World Robot Conference: the multimodal cooking AI platform CookingMuse Chúqǐ, the 3K Vision AI Cooking Robot, and the embodied cooking robot “Fresh-Cooked Ark.”

The 3K is an intelligent AI cooking robot that combines AI vision with a cooking intelligence engine. It features three 40-megapixel global-shutter industrial cameras that capture images inside the wok at 30 FPS. An AI foundation model trained on millions of dish records then assesses the ingredient status in real time, allowing the AI to “see” changes in the wok and make autonomous decisions accordingly.

At the same time, the robot moves cooking-result control from “after the fact” to “during the process,” improving back-of-house operating efficiency for food-service brands. It addresses the inconsistency that occurred when earlier cooking robots could only follow preset programs and variations arose in ingredient size or thawing status. The product can dynamically adjust heating power and cooking time at the millisecond level, delivering good results even when ingredients are inconsistent or the dish container is placed incorrectly.

The Fresh-Cooked Ark is a mobile, unmanned micro-kitchen solution based on embodied intelligent robots. It can complete the entire unmanned workflow, from fresh-cut ingredient preservation and storage, to on-demand cooking, bowl dispensing and serving, exhaust treatment, and automatic equipment cleaning. In effect, it is a small mobile unmanned restaurant that requires no chef, exhaust installation, or fixed storefront.
