Nice to see them getting coverage, we were at the same startup incubator (Greentown) before we both moved on to larger offices. I can attest that the food this machine makes is, in fact, tasty.
The description in the article suggests that the machine does not actually make any of the food, it just measures and dispenses pre-cooked items into a bowl? So it's a glorified automatic dog feeder?
No, the machine actually does do the cooking. There's an induction based heater that also mixes the food. Different sorts of raw vegetables are added by a hopper in a sequence that depends on their cooking time. Finally the mixer/cooker dispenses the meal into a bowl.
According to the article it rolls them around in some kind of barrel shaped apparatus to "cook" the food. That might be what the 'custom forged woks' are?
