Humanoid kitchen robot slices cucumber into thin, uniform pieces in Lanzhou, China

On October 20, 2026, in Lanzhou, Gansu, China, @Ryōko shared a video of a humanoid kitchen robot named Baozi demonstrating its food preparation skills at a technology exhibition. In the video, the silver and metallic gray robot, marked with a black X on its chest, stands behind a white counter and carefully slices a green cucumber on a small wooden cutting board. Using one hand to hold the cucumber steady and the other to handle a metal kitchen knife, the robot makes slow, precise cuts, producing thin, evenly sized slices. A plate and a red container sit nearby as visitors watch the demonstration. According to the author, Baozi slices cucumbers so thinly and consistently that the pieces are nearly identical in thickness. The demonstration showcases the robot’s precision in handling kitchen tools and preparing food.
