Also, it is powered by Dobot’s Robot Operator Model – 1 (ROM-1) which enables it to adapt to instructed environments. The company refers to the robot as a kitchen assistant.

Dobot Robotics stated:

"Today, we have a special guest in the kitchen—our Atom, the humanoid robot! Watch as it effortlessly whips up a delicious, nutritious breakfast—from perfectly toasted bread to carefully picking up lettuce and cherries. Atom is the ultimate kitchen assistant! What's even more amazing? Atom learns your preferences! Like a cup of milk? Atom remembers. Prefer your toast to be just a little crispy? No problem! It's like having a personal chef who knows you inside out."

Apart from assisting with food preparation, Dobot said the Atom robot could spice up one's morning with funny banter.

@grakkerful said:

"This is impressive, but I'd like to see the process start without everything already laid out. If I go throught the trouble of laying everything out like that, hell, I might as well just make my breakfast instead. I know, I know, it's just a demonstration."

The scientists stated that water molecules began forming shortly after what they called the first supernova explosions.

According to the work published in the journal Nature Astronomy, the explosions created heavy elements, such as oxygen, required for water to exist.
