Self-cleaning high-tech fridge of the future in the works
This self-cleaning fridge of the future would fit perfectly inside the kitchen of 2040 as envisioned by Ikea earlier this year. Being designed in the UK, this smart fridge is an upshot of collaborations between scientists at the University of Central Lancashire and online supermarket Ocado. The high-tech fridge will teach you to cook with your leftovers, and it re-orders fresh food too. Moreover, this futuristic fridge can also place supermarket home delivery orders and organize food by date for use. The fridge is being said to clean itself, cut down on wasted food, scan its shelves for food and provide you with recipes. The full wireless connectivity allows for the streaming of web-based cooking shows and services.
The smart fridge makes use of "nano-articulated technology" shelf surfaces featuring millions of independently controlled micro-tiles, which will send food products soon to be eaten to the front of the shelves. The integrated ultrasound-scanning technology in the door will let the fridge swipe and capture the food on a plate before and after mealtime, in order to check the amount of type of food being wasted. So, in the near future, you fridge will tell you what to have for dinner.
