LeChefu

The SOTA is a small humanoid robot developed by NTT. Our project brief is to research into the SOTA robot and implement new ideas for using SOTA. We are expected to research on the technology, find out what Sota enables, and generate potential business use cases.

LeChefu is our solution for this project. It is a program that would allow Sota to act as an intelligent Cooking Assistant, walking users through recipes, updating users' grocery lists and more.


With LeChefu, you will never have to get your electronic devices covered in food while cooking again.

Tell Sota the ingredients you have and receive step-by-step instructions for a recipe that uses those ingredients!

Convert Measurements



Ask Sota to convert a teaspoon to millilitres in a split second or set a timer for that pie in the oven!

Ask LeChefu what that new ingredient is and get an answer instantly!

Keep Grocery Lists
