"This goes in the microwave. This goes on the stove burner. It's so easy to cook now that I can give directions to the appliances just through my finger motion."

- Mom loves to cook for the family, but it gets kind of hectic cooking all by herself. But now she can switch on the microwave oven or adjust the flame of the burner simply by giving instructions using finger movements, even while chopping vegetables. Her radio wave sensor-based "automated" kitchen is a great help, reducing her cooking time and enabling her to serve delicious, freshly cooked meals for her family.

Radio Wave Sensor
By drawing on the radio wave's advantageous qualities of high resistance to steam, flame and other adverse conditions, OMRON's radio wave sensor has the potential to be incorporated into a kitchen system to enable automated cooking. Once it is realized, the automated kitchen will help make cooking easier and more efficient by setting individual detection distances for each appliance, making eating at home more enjoyable and convenient.
