As I’m sitting in my office writing this review, delicious, cheesy, garlicky scents are wafting up the stairs. I can hear whizzing and whirring, and the occasional clunk, as a robot chef in my kitchen is making macaroni and cheese. Its app tells me there are three minutes left in the process, and based on the snapshot it’s showing, the dish looks like a creamy pile of cheesy goodness.

I’ll be heading out the door shortly to pick up my daughter from the school bus, and when we’re back, the robot-cooked mac and cheese will be waiting for her to dive into, staying fresh thanks to a “copilot” mode that keeps it warm and stirs it occasionally until we’re ready.
