A robot "chef" has been trained to taste food at different stages of the chewing process to check if it is salty enough, imitating a similar process in humans.
The University of Cambridge researchers suggest their results could be useful in the development of automated or semi-automated food preparation by helping robots to learn what does and does not taste good, making them better cooks.
