Robot Cooking Eggs -- Live Demo

Skild’s presenters demonstrate a robot cooking omelets and discuss how its vision based model handles retries, heat, and precise manipulation.

In this talk

  1. 0:00

    Cracking eggs and cooking by sight

    The robot cracks two eggs, checks for both yolks with its top camera, adds salt, and stirs until the mixture firms up. The presenters say the system acts end to end, with no manually programmed stages, and judges readiness visually rather than using a heat sensor.

  2. 2:43

    Recovering from mistakes

    The robot makes another batch and recovers after eggs fall during the demonstration. The presenters say it can retry within the same end to end model, and discuss how visual cues help it decide what to do next.

  3. 6:29

    Learning the cooking task

    While whisking, the presenters note that the robot could whisk more and scrape the middle of the pan. They say it is improved with data and joke that its current technique resembles a novice cook’s.

  4. 8:06

    Using cameras for precise work

    The presenters explain that the robot uses both cameras to guide a precise insertion task, with one arm helping it choose where to place the other. They say the same base model is used across setups, and that remembering prior actions is handled implicitly rather than through an explicit memory system.
