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?
