Although fairly pricey, over 8, units were bought within a week and the company had to close orders to cope with demand. A robot cooked me a tasty Kung Pao chicken. The fully automated roti-maker takes flour, water and oil, and spits out fresh and hot rotis, unleavened Indian bread also known as chapati. She hopes American buyers will react positively too, when the company starts shipping to them "in the fourth quarter" of this year. Rotimatic's Facebook page is peppered with impatient customer comments requesting updates on shipping, but posts from happy Singapore buyers should give folks in the U.
Rishi Israni, Zimplistic's CEO, who is also married to Nagarkar, noted that while the Singapore delivery was successful, the company is putting its all into the U. It's taken two years for the company to get its ducks in a row because of the testing and certifications required for hardware. Over in a room, Nagarkar shows me a line of Rotimatics working all day, where some 2, rotis are made daily in order to test the machines' reliability.
In the eight years since Nagarkar cobbled the first Rotimatic prototype together, she's become quite the roti expert. And while making roti by hand seems simple, "you realize how complex humans are when you try to replicate that with a machine," said the mechanical engineer. Israni, a software engineer who once sold a startup to McAfee, said the Rotimatic comes with an extra bit of brains to make its rotis closer to perfect.
The "kneading profile" of dough changes depending on a number of variables, from humidity to the protein component of the flour chosen. While a human can adapt on the fly from the feel and sight of the dough, a machine is less adaptable. The Rotimatic's 15 sensors work to close this gap, and adjust to push out rotis of "at least 95 percent perfection" within five rotis, said Israni. And by connecting to the internet, each Rotimatic joins a hive mind that shares its learnings with other Rotimatics.
It's been a fast acceleration for Zimplistic in the past year. When Mashable covered the Rotimatic in , the company was a person startup in Mountain View, California. We're using cookies to improve your experience. Click Here to find out more. Tech Like Follow Follow.
