The new Rotimatic?

Having trouble making roti yourself, well try the Rotimatic machine, a product of Zimplistic, a Mountain View, California-based company of 20 people. Rotimatic was developed over six years by co-founders Pranoti Nagarkar and Rishi Israni. Nagarkar handled the engineering and Israni was largely responsible for the software side (there’s no operating system; it runs “bare metal”).

 

Rotimatic is the world’s first fully automated robot roti-maker. At 39 pounds, the 40 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm device looks like an oversized bread maker, but it’s actually a fascinating piece of engineering that combines 10 motors, 15 sensors and 300 parts to spit out baked roti at a pace of about one per minute. Rotimatic, which I saw in action at Mashable's headquarters, really only needs a supply of ingredients to work.
