四、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过6个词)
At a restaurant in Qingdao, meals are being cooked by robotic chefs (厨师). Customers can watch the process of cooking in the kitchen, feeling safe and certain about the food they eat.
It takes a robot less than 10 minutes to cook a dish, with ingredients (食材) prepared beforehand (预先) by restaurant workers. The colors and tastes of the dishes are almost the same as those cooked by human chefs.
According to Ge Wu, head of a kitchen robot company in Qingdao, such robotic kitchens work better in cutting food waste. Research shows that about 50% of vegetables are wasted during the preparation of dishes. To improve this situation, the vegetables ordered by robotic kitchen will first be sent to a factory to be washed and then arrive at the restaurant ready for cooking. During this whole process, there will be little food waste produced. Besides, the restaurant will collect the unused or uneaten vegetables. To further cut the kitchen waste, the restaurant will also feed them to animals.
Li Quanhong, a professor from China Agricultural University, said that robotic kitchens are reshaping the restaurant industry. After all, a smart restaurant requires a less intensive (集中的) use of human chefs.
On the other hand, the rise of robotic kitchens shows that some restaurants are now paying more attention to the safety and freshness of food, creating a safe and comfortable dining environment for their customers. Robotic kitchens are also useful in avoiding cross-infection(交叉感染) while meeting people's needs for safe and healthy food. The robotic chefs appeared in the smart restaurant in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and has greatly reduced the spread of the epidemic (疫情) risk.
