Robam AI Cooking Glasses (AI烹饪眼镜)

Most makers in this catalogue ship a general assistant on your face and hope a use arrives. Robam does not. It has made hoods and cooktops since 1979, and the glasses it showed at AWE 2026 on 12 March do one job: look at the pan from where the cook stands, work out what is happening in it, and then change the flame.

That last clause separates this from everything else here. The maker's release lays out the architecture plainly: the cooking model it calls Shishen is the brain, the glasses and the seasoning dispenser and the phone are the senses, and the hood, cooktop and steam oven are the limbs. Perception, decision, physical action. Every other pair here stops at the first two, because the third requires owning the machine at the other end. Robam owns it. So when the lens says flip, thirty more seconds, that comes from something that already knows the burner setting and can change it without asking.

The same fact is the problem. These glasses are a control surface for one company's kitchen. No source, the maker's release included, mentions an SDK, a third party app or sideloading, and the product is described everywhere as part of a closed ecosystem. For a developer this is a case study, not a platform. And on the hardware the maker says nothing: its release describes what the glasses do at length and never once says what they are. Panel, resolution, camera, battery, chip, all absent. The monocular green waveguide and the 89 g in the table above come from reporters who saw the demo on the show floor, not from Robam.

Then the price, which does not exist. At the fair Robam said price would decide whether the product worked, and that it would reach shops before the end of 2026. Six months later there is no store page, and a second generation is reported for March 2027. The idea is the best argument here for why these glasses matter. The product is still a stage.
