Cooking assistant Home
The cooking assistant project aims at developing a voice-based cooking assistant that is able to assist a user in cooking a recipe.
The task of cooking a recipe can be split into several phases or subtasks:
Preparation: collecting the needed ingredients by either grocery shopping or retrieving them from an inventory, and collecting the required cooking utensils. Presumably, also in this stage, any cooking techniques that need explanation should be explained.
Preparation (mise en place): organizing and arranging the ingredients that are required before the actual cooking
Recipe instruction: the cooking task itself.

How should a spoken dialogue be designed, managed, and organized to assist a user in cooking a recipe?
What visual information should be displayed to assist a user that is cooking a recipe? → See this page for more on this topic.
