This robot works almost automatically from rolling dough, baking to baking and canning. All done in 5 minutes, the part that successfully shapes a raw pizza before being put in the oven is only 45 seconds.
Initially, pizza dough will be put into the machine, kneaded and pressed into a circle. A system is responsible for cutting ingredients such as meat, sausages, sauces ... spread evenly on the surface. Finally, the cake is put into a high temperature oven.
Stellar Pizza's robot is designed with a moderate size, which can be placed in a restaurant or installed in the back of a truck. The company plans to start operating the robot early next year, serving first in Los Angeles.
Stellar Pizza was founded in May 2019 by three former SpaceX engineers, Benson Tsai, Brian Langone and James Wahawisan. Tsai worked for 5 years for Elon Musk's aerospace company, designing battery systems for rockets and satellites. He brought together 23 former SpaceX employees to build this pizza-making robot.
The Stellar Pizza team also includes Ted Cizma, a former chef at SpaceX. He collaborated with pizza consultant Noel Brohner to research high-quality, delicious and affordable cakes.
In addition to the cakes in the catalog, Stellar Pizza also allows users to choose their own baking ingredients, including onions, bacon, chicken and olive oil through the application interface. The rest of the processes are handled by the robot.
