Humanoid Robot Cooking, Meal Prep & Raw Egg Handling Benchmark
Kitchen assistance blends ultra-delicate grip control (holding an intact raw egg or ripe avocado without bruising) with heat-safe reach around ovens and induction cooktops. Optimus Gen 2.5 (22-DOF hands), Fourier GR-2 (24-DOF hands), and Sanctuary Phoenix (24-DOF micro-hydraulics) lead at 4/5, while 1X NEO Beta (3/5) excels at safe stirring, microwave plating, and counter wiping.
Figure 02 (1/5), Booster T1 (1/5), and All-Electric Atlas (1/5) are strictly industrial manipulators and are not rated for domestic food preparation.
