Moley Robotics’ moniker is derived from the name of its founder and CEO, Mark Oleynik. Qualifying as a computer science engineer at the St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Russia, Oleynik also holds a Master’s degree from the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace and Instrumentation, a PhD in economics and a Masters from Harvard Business School. He is, needless to say, a very smart guy. And he has big plans for how robotics can make our lives easier.

Currently that has manifested itself through Moley’s development of the “world’s first robotic kitchen”, a sophisticated, robotic chef whose automated ‘hands’ can cook over 5,000 recipes, plate up dishes and even clean up after itself. Those robotic hands, guided by optical cameras and sensors and operated from an overhead track, can dextrously manipulate Moley’s bespoke pans and utensils, while smoothly operating a touch-based induction cooktop. Moley is currently for high-end residential usage (and not cheap – a base Moley kitchen unit with robotic arms retails at US$335,000). But Oleynik, ever the visionary and future gazer, is planning its next phase and deployment into commercial kitchens. It’s a move that could fundamentally change how restaurants operate in years to come.

Moley Robotics is a robotics company headquartered in London, United Kingdom that developed, created and put on the market the first robotic kitchen based on a multifunctional cooking platform.

Moley Robotics was founded by Russian mathematician, computer scientist and entrepreneur Mark Oleynik in 2015 to create service robots for kitchen use. It is best known for creating the first robot kitchen, The Moley Robotic Kitchen
