Abstract: The present technology relates to a cooking system capable of providing novel cooking experiences. A cooking system according to an aspect of the present technology includes: a top plate unit including a first top plate and a second top plate; a top plate drive unit that moves at least either top plate of the first top plate and the second top plate; a cooking assistance unit provided in a cooking assistance space that appears by movement of the at least either top plate; an arm movement unit that moves a cooking arm including an attaching/detaching portion capable of attaching/detaching an attachment having a cooking function along a movement mechanism provided in the cooking assistance space; and an arm control unit that controls driving of the cooking arm in accordance with a cooking process. The present technology can be applied to a system kitchen having a robotic function.

Abstract: There is provided a cooking arm and a cooking system that are capable of providing novel cooking experiences, the cooking arm according to an aspect of the present technology including a cooking function arm portion including a first attaching/detaching portion capable of attaching/detaching an attachment having a cooking function; a movement function arm portion including a second attaching/detaching portion attachable/detachable to/from an arm movement unit that moves along a movement mechanism provided in a cooking system; and a hinge portion that rotatably connects each of the cooking function arm portion and the movement function arm portion. The present technology can be applied to a system kitchen having a robotic function.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a transportation movable object capable of providing novel cooking experiences. A transportation movable object according to an aspect of the present technology includes: a top plate on which an object to be transported placed by a cooking arm of a cooking system or a person is placed, the cooking arm being driven in accordance with a cooking process; an extensible support arm that supports the top plate; a movement unit that is connected to the support arm and performs movement for transportation of the object to be transported; and a control unit that controls an attitude state including a state of the top plate and a state of the support arm and a movement state of the movement unit in accordance with a cooking state in the cooking system. The present technology can be applied to a system kitchen having a robotic function.

Abstract: There is provided a cooking system capable of providing novel cooking experiences, the cooking system including: a top plate unit including a first top plate and a second top plate; a top plate drive unit that lowers the first top plate; a cooking assistance unit provided in a side surface of a cooking space formed by lowering of the first top plate; an arm movement unit that moves a cooking arm including an attaching/detaching portion capable of attaching/detaching an attachment having a cooking function along a movement mechanism; and an arm control unit that drives the cooking arm in accordance with a cooking process. The present technology can be applied to a system kitchen having a robotic function.

Abstract: A piercing and rolling plug has a film composed of oxides such as Fe3O4 and FeO and Fe (metal) as being formed on the surface of the base metal by electric arc spraying using an iron wire whose main component is Fe and, owing to this film, a plug excellent in heat-shielding and seizure-preventing effects can be realized and the lifetime of the plug can be prolonged. Further, in regenerating this plug, a film can be re-formed via the steps of shot blasting of the as-used plug in piercing and rolling and electric arc spraying in that order; thus, it is possible to regenerate the plug at low cost and in a short period of time.
