The autonomous bread baking machine is the brainchild of Wilkinson Baking company. The machine is completely transparent and sure to attract the consumers at this year’s CES. The machine is a visual treat for customers and allows them to view the entire process right from the scratch until completion.

It features an Auto start and stops option so that the owner can schedule the preparation in advance to opening the store. After the start and stop parameters are set, breadbot spreads production throughout the day. As a result, breadbot makes fresh bread all day long.

It contains about 20 sensors that continuously monitor the process at the rate of 100 times a second. It has a touch screen and a display where one can monitor the process from time to time.
