Indian couple's chapati making robot a hit in US

SINGAPORE: An Indian couple in Singapore has invented a first-of-its-kind robot to make chappatis which raked in about 5 million Singapore dollars in pre-sale orders from the US.

Rishi Israni and his wife Pranoti, took six years to develop the robot, Rotimatic, which can produce about one baked chapati per minute.

Rotimatic is the first kitchen device to use robotic technology and awaits US certifications required for such products for the American market.

The Rotimatic shipment to the American market would commence next year.

The Isranis co-founded start-up Zimplistic for the invention, a 17-kilogramme breadmaker type device which combines 10 motors, 15 sensors and 300 parts to produce chapati, The Straits Times reported.

Chapati making can be customised to the thickness, softness, amount of oil and type of flour.

"Zimplistic is changing the way people think about cooking by bringing them a smarter way to prepare food and customers have been extremely receptive to and excited about this concept," said Israni in a statement.

Priced at US$ 599 each, Rotimatic is easy to use and can clean simply as it comes with detachable dishwasher-safe components, it said.

Israni is a entrepreneur and was formerly the founder of tenCube, a Singapore based mobile security company acquired by McAfee.

A good initiative but a bit expensive
if it is sold in india,,our fellows will replicate with their jugaad skills and bring out a low cost model suiting indian realities

the other day I bought fancy low cost ceiling lights for false ceiling with chinese outer glass shell with internal CFL light from Havel and

relevant electronics from another indian company. really it is most suitable and cheap and has indian reliable electronics easily available. indians are

very good at this jugaad. any imported product undergoes import substitution and indian version comes at half or quarter the cost.

even the indigenous computers of atomic energy were replicated from Digital equipment corp.s PDP series of seventies with minor architectural

changes. india is a land where the unemployed smart youngsters are experts in re engg and making indian versions of all costly products
