This time it’s 5G robot cooking and it still sucks.

It’s 2023 and mobile operators are still convincing general news pubs to write about the wonders of 5G. This time The Post in Wellington, New Zealand heroically tries to make a 5G robotic cooking demonstration sound convincing but, well.

There’s no camera on the robot, rather it relies on clever spatial programming while two phones set up above the stainless steel prep area allowed Gault, armed with a tablet in Auckland, to issue it instructions.

Local chefs lay the groundwork ‒ prepping and seasoning the tails, preparing the slaw and precise placement of the ingredients for the arm to collect.

Two phones, a tablet, and local chefs, all to misplate the food! At this one actually happened. Will the wonders of 5G ever cease? Or... begin?

A robot arm tries to plate a crab leg on a roll and drops it to the side.
Whoops.
