Robot cooks
Cookwala protocol
Change vs no-robot world
Regions
Three futures, five years
Same people, same population growth, same grids getting cleaner. Only robots and the protocol differ. Robots alone: robots shop and cook through their vendors' apps; stores, farms and logistics can't see their plans; no surplus rescue. Protocol: demand signals, consolidated delivery, surplus rescue to community kitchens, energy-saver modes, used by robots, stores, farms, relief programs and people's apps.
