In conjunction with Miller Thomson LLP, the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce Ontario held an exciting event at the Sky Club in Toronto. The topic was SwissRobocletteInvention & Patents, Regulations and Contracting around Artificial Intelligence, with an unveiling of Roboclette, the world’s first machine capable of meticulously scrapingmelted cheese. Nicolas Fontaine and Garrett Wollam, inventors of Roboclette, were in attendance, along with Karen Durell, Domenic Presta and Andre Nowakowski of Miller Thomson LLP. Roboclette was created through the collaborative efforts of Emmanuel Pignat, Sylvain Calinon, and Nicolas Fontaine and was brought to life at the Idiap Research Institute. Its journey to success was further propelled by the invaluable contributions of Eddy Baillifard, Valais/Wallis Promotion, and Workshop 4.0, solidifying its status as a technological marvel and showcasing the incredible potential of artificial intelligence research in the Valais region. Eddy Baillifard of Raclett’House brought his extensive cheese knowledge to the table, while the Robot Learning & Interaction group at the Idiap Research Institute provided the technical understanding. Together, they orchestrated the first-ever raclette prepared by a robot. Emmanuel Pignat, a PhD candidate from Idiap‘s robotic group, devised a novel approach. He guided the robot‘s arm while it recorded the intricate movements and forces required to perform the task. This method enabled the seamless transfer of skills from a human to a robot in an intuitive manner and allowed for adaptability. This adaptability is critical in the case of scrapingraclette cheese, where cheese positions and orientations can subtly differ, and the amount of cheese left in the oven may vary.
It was a lot of fun watching the demonstration and tasting the delicious Swiss cheese. The Roboclette is genuinely innovative and undoubtedly will be a huge hit worldwide.
