Not only does this robot recommend the right matches of wine and cheese it can actually learn what new flavours you might be interested in, and it even gives health tips if it thinks you're overindulging. Given three ripe, identical-looking apples to analyze, the robot was able without taking a bite to correctly single out one as sweet and the other two as a bit sour. It also mistook one reporter for ham and another for bacon. It uses a sensor to analyze the 'fingerprint' of the food or beverage, so it can tell how a wine is doing without having to open the bottle - which should prove invaluable once the sensors become affordable. I'd certainly like to know when that big-bodied red I've been cellaring has hit prime drinkability! [GT]
