Shin Starr's robotic food truck kitchen will serve up Korean BBQ at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 | TechCrunch
"Han Sungil, a chef with over 18 restaurants in Korea, came to the U.S. to lead Shin Starr's culinary operations, which includes a brick and mortar restaurant in San Mateo - so, there's high expectations for the food. We can't say from experience whether the food is a hit, but we'll certainly be taste-testing some wagyu galbi and tteokbokki when the food truck rolls up to TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, where Shin Starr is part of the Startup Battlefield 200."
"While driving on the highway, Shin Starr's robotic system retrieves the prepared, fresh ingredients from a refrigerator, then places them on a conveyor belt. They're then dropped into a tilted cylindrical canister, which climbs to high heats like a wok and rotates to cook the food. After the food is cooked and tipped into its packaging, the system can clean and sanitize the canister and put it back into the flow for cooking."
Shin Starr developed a human-driven food truck outfitted with an Autowok, a modular AI-powered robotics system that automates cooking, serving, and cleaning. A lead chef with extensive restaurant experience prepares fresh ingredients and operates a San Mateo brick and mortar location. The Autowok retrieves ingredients from a refrigerator, places them on a conveyor belt, drops them into a tilted cylindrical canister that heats and rotates like a wok, cooks the food, packages the meal, sanitizes the canister, and returns it for reuse. The model focuses on delivering hot, fresh, tasty Korean BBQ at reasonable prices and prioritizes value over novelty.
