Spanish company BR5 has developed a robot that can cook paella. "Our goal is to travel around the world and be able to eat the same rice that we eat in our country," said founder Enrique Lillo.

西班牙BR5公司開發出可以烹調海鮮飯的機器人。創辦人安立奎．里悠說：「我們的目標是在環遊世界時，能夠嚐到和國內一樣的飯食。」

"In my opinion it’s a wonderful tool, and ’Ole!’ for the developers," said Maria Munoz, paella chef and director of "Cocinea" gastronomy school after trying the robot-made paella.

西班牙海鮮飯主廚、Cocinea料理學校校長瑪莉亞．穆諾茲，在嚐過機器人煮的海鮮飯後說：「我認為這是很棒的料理工具，我也要對開發者說『你們太棒了！』」

The robot consists of an electronically controlled stove and a mechanical arm which puts the sauteed ingredients over the paella pan, adds the rice and then stirs it with a slotted spoon before pouring in the fish stock.

這個機器人由一組電子驅動的火爐，以及能夠將煎炒過的食材放入海鮮飯鐵盤並倒入米飯的機器手臂組成，還能在放入魚料前，用帶孔的舀勺加以翻攪。

All ingredients have to be prepared in advance and are already measured for one paella. Once all the ingredients are in the pan, the robot stirs and shakes it constantly until it is done. (Reuters)

所有食材均須事先備妥，且控制在一份海鮮飯的量。當食材全都入鍋，機器人就會不斷攪拌、翻滾，直到完成。（路透）
