# Drone-Cooked Dinners Autel Robotics Demonstrates How to Conveniently Cook a Thanksgiving Dinner By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-11-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autel-robotics References: [designtaxi](http://www.designtaxi.com/news/389844/Comical-Ad-Shows-How-To-Cook-Thanksgiving-Dinner-More-Efficiently-Using-A-Drone/) & [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/11/thanksgiving-dinner-drone-video) A video called 'How to Cook a Thanksgiving Dinner With a Drone' was recently put out by the [Autel Robotics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinematic-drones) team. As many know, [preparing such an intricate dinner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotisserie-turkey-package) can take hours of work -- which makes the idea of [having a robot do it all](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robbyant-r1) an incredibly appealing one. To begin, Autel Robotics instructs its viewers to attach propellers to the drone, as well as to put on a "Medieval-armor-like glove" to protect themselves. It quickly becomes clear why this is necessary, as the next step requires drone-assisted chefs to peel potatoes by putting the vegetables up to the propellers. Once this is done, the same is done with carrots. After, the drone travels outside to cook, allowing the chef to relax inside while their dinner is prepared. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Drone-assisted Cooking:** Using drones to automate food preparation processes, saving time and effort for cooks. - **Robotic Meal Preparation:** Using robots to handle intricate cooking tasks, allowing humans to relax and enjoy their meal. - **Sustainable Kitchen Technology:** Leveraging technology to create more efficient and environmentally-friendly cooking methods. ### Where This Applies - **Foodtech:** Applying innovative technologies to the food industry, such as drones and robots, to revolutionize meal preparation. - **Hospitality:** Integrating drone-assisted cooking and robotic meal preparation to enhance the dining experience in hotels and restaurants. - **Smart Home Appliances:** Developing kitchen appliances with advanced technologies, like drones, to automate cooking processes and simplify meal preparation at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unmanned Aircraft Food Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unmanned-aircrafts.md) - [Autonomous Fry Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wingman-by-nala-robotics.md) - [AI-Powered Grilling Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-x.md) - [Simplified Holiday Meal Preparations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-meal-preparation.md) - [AI-Powered Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-cooking-system.md) - [Drone-Created Gingerbread Light Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-village-in-the-sky.md) - [Halloween Drone Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-drone-deliveries.md) - [Festive Drone Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codrone-edu.md) - [Irish Drone-Executed Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-eat-takeawaycom.md)
