It suggests ideal cooking temperatures and times for each and automatically adjusts the heat for optimal results.

Autonomous Wet Dry Mop Bot - Kitchen Robot
We're always on the look out for the latest kitchen robot, and this robotic wet or dry mop bot navigates autonomously through a room and methodically cleans hard surface floors. The robotic cleaner uses widely available dry electrostatic or premoistened cloths that attach to the bottom of the robot and collect dust, dirt, and hair as the device courses linearly through a room or moves back-and-forth in a traditional mopping motion.
Now we just need to get rid of our obsession with having a rug in our kitchen, and move to a bare floor so mop bot can do all the cleaning.
