Developing Skills in Culinary Technology

In the world of culinary innovation, a groundbreaking dataset has been created by researchers at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and Electrolux Professional. This unique dataset offers a detailed insight into the intricacies of cooking movements while flipping food on a grill.

The dataset, which includes data on the force and torque applied to utensils, the type of utensil used, the food involved, and each chef's pose and eye gaze, was collected from a diverse group of nine cooks - four restaurant chefs and five home cooks. A total of 2,866 flipping motions were meticulously recorded.

To gather this wealth of information, the researchers employed a sophisticated system. Sensors that measure motion, force, torque, and temperature were attached to the utensils, while motion capture cameras and a wearable eye tracking headset were used to film the cooks in action.

However, the question remains: How can one access this intriguing dataset? While a thorough online search did not yield direct access instructions, there are several avenues to explore.

  1. Start by searching the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies website or their robotics/automation research groups for project or dataset repositories.
  2. Check research publications by those authors for links or references to data repositories.
  3. Reach out to the authors or the Sant'Anna School research office directly, mentioning the Electrolux Professional collaboration.
  4. Explore Electrolux Professional’s official website or innovation labs section for any data sharing announcements.

Since this dataset is highly specialized and potentially proprietary due to the commercial involvement, publicly available access might be limited or require agreement to terms of use.

If you have a specific paper title, author names, or a direct reference, further assistance in locating direct sources or contacts can be provided.

This dataset promises to revolutionize our understanding of cooking dynamics, offering invaluable insights for both professional and home cooks alike. Stay tuned for more developments in this exciting field!
