Accurately Reproducing the Tastes of Skilled Chefs: I-Robo2
Automate cooking, from stir-fry to cleaning—anyone can recreate the taste of a skilled chef.
The stir-fry cooking robot I-Robo2, developed by TechMagic, automates a series of tasks including stirring, heating, and cleaning the cooking pan after use. It can automatically replicate the skills of experienced chefs to make dishes such as fried rice or stir-fried vegetables. The robot flexibly and accurately adjusts the heating temperature, cooking time, pan rotation speed, and direction based on the menu. By using I-Robo2, operational efficiency improves, productivity is boosted, and the need for human labor is reduced, helping to address the labor shortages that many restaurants face while creating an environment where people can focus on higher-value tasks.
I-Robo2 in action during cooking
Anyone can easily make stir-fry.
I-Robo2 is capable of handling all types of stir-fry cooking and has the ability to prepare up to 30 servings per hour; the introduction of this product will improve operational efficiency and increase productivity. Based on pre-set parameters for each menu, I-Robo2 adjusts the heating temperature, cooking time, and pan rotation speed and direction. Since the pan and spatula are manipulated separately, it can replicate delicate flavors with precision. The operation is also extremely simple, significantly reducing staff training time and ensuring consistent quality across the dishes.
Enhanced usability with a variety of features
The taste and processes of skilled chefs are thoroughly databased, allowing for accurate reproduction and the delivery of high-quality, consistent dishes. The robot's spatula and pan are independently controlled, with adjustable rotation direction and speed, allowing for the reproduction of more delicate flavors. Additionally, the robot is equipped with an infrared temperature sensor, enabling it to detect abnormal pan heating and prevent overheating by stopping.
After cooking, it washes the pan automatically, significantly reducing manual cleaning tasks. A scraper attached to the cleaning nozzle detaches residue, preventing food from burning onto the surface.
It also provides customizable features and adjustments based on the operational environment, including detergent cleaning, a barcode scanner, circulating air, and a pan guard. The operation steps are displayed on the screen, making it easy for anyone to use.

Contributing to improved profit margins and addressing labor shortages in the foodservice industry, while creating new dining experiences
I-Robo2 has been introduced in major Chinese restaurant chains, leading to a 12% increase in the profitability of the stores. In terms of labor costs, prior to its introduction, three kitchen staff were required; now, it can be operated with just two. Additionally, their stir-fry and fried rice combo, which was previously difficult to offer due to the need to stir the pan simultaneously, is now possible and has become popular, leading to increased average customer spending. Compared to using traditional woks, the temperature in the kitchen no longer rises excessively, contributing to improved working conditions for staff.
Furthermore, I-Robo2 is capable of cooking not only Chinese cuisine but also a wide variety of dishes across different culinary genres. Companies that have introduced I-Robo2 are not only seeing it as a solution to labor shortages, but also as a tool that can offer dining experiences beyond the skills of traditional chefs, thanks to its robotic precision and capabilities.
