With a robotic arm capable of holding and raising a glass and a voice synth chip and a speaker!
Consumer may want to spread different quantities of Jam, Butter , Cheese in to the toaster . In this case , One may add additional pockets of these spreadables on toaster which may be spreaded using configurable fuzzy logic based buttons and make the toast ready with whatever u want.
At this stage of Technology, I would have the toaster IP enable with all the usual capabilites and manufacturing company providing webaccess to our home toaster for data input.
1.Find out Voltage to be supported
2. ” ” 2-pin/3 pin plug ?
3. ” ” How many slots for bread?
4. ” ” what size bread ?
5. Automatic pop-up
6. Easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance
7. Easily operable
8. Compact and good looking
9 Design a simple circuit that uses components that are easily available.
10. Internet enabled ?
11(?). Provide a place to keep the stack of bread slices, a settable counter, place to keep the plate, toaster automatically picks up bread from the stack, “toasts” it and places it on the plate.
12. Also could provide a butter holder that melts the butter and sprinkles it on the toast, once done.
13. Optional alarm that rings after the job is done (entire stack is toasted)
14. Optical sensor to sense the actual browning of the bread (different settings for wheat and white bread)
.. and so on…. :))
I would create a toaster that was very very durable, and then add simple voice synthesis. The goal would be to create a very annoying toaster like on the Red Dwarf show. “Toasty the cheer breakfast compainion” would annoy people awke by constantly asking them to if they wanted any toast.
The durability would be so that it could withstand abuse from the owner.
Good answers, but you’ve all forgotten safety. Call me boring for not want an HTTP enabled, auto-buttering, talking toaster, but all too often, I just want one that won’t burn my house down or at least brown other things near it. The heat factor is also the main reasons why it’s difficult to build cheap digital ones (one must insulate the chip and electronics).
Like a printer which can stach up a pack of paper.
Slicing bread onto diff sape and sizes.
1) Automatic feed for a stack of bread.
2) Choice between Jam, Chocolate, Honey or Butter.
3) Automatic serving onto plates (to prevent burns).
4) Automatic burn leveler.
5) Print of logos on the burns.
7) Keeping the breads fresh and hyginic.
