Target market is a hobby chef nerd’s mom :)

Otoh: this is NOT how a person cuts with a knife! Kills credibility of the whole complicated measurement with the robot. Just ask a chef to cut on a scale. You will be surprised. People can cut with semi-dull knife by pulling the knife towards their body not pushing down towards the cutting surface.

Any new tech arrives as a gimmick, too expensive and underwhelming to be practical in daily life. Think about early TVs with a postcard-size monochrome screen, early 8-bit hobby computers, first Tesla cars, solar panels at the time when only spacecraft carried them, etc.

If the thing proves somehow useful, mass adoption and mass production slashes the cost 2-3 orders of magnitude, and the thing becomes mundane.

Otherwise it becomes forgotten as a weird gimmick.

Let's wait another 15 years.
