This robot-made pizza in Silicon Valley should terrify Domino's and Pizza Hut

I believe in Italy they have vending machines that make pizza from scratch, this company isn’t exactly ground breaking.

Part of the joy I get from dining out is speaking with the hopefully pleasant, attentive and polite waitstaff about the menu, the restaurant, or the day in general.
It’s more than just a data dump which ends in a hot meal on the table. Good employees add to the ambiance. This realization may take a while, a few years perhaps, but smarter restaurants and other small businesses will find a way to maintain their humanity while improving their efficiency.

the term “hot pie” was the term we used growing up in the Southern Tier of NYS....it was advertised that way and that’s the way most people who wanted a “pizza” would order it...

Zume co-founder Julia Collins already has Pepe and Giorgio, two robots, squirting pizza sauce onto the dough, and Marta, another robot, spreading the sauce. Bruno, a robotic arm, lifts the pizza into the oven. The dough is still made by humans. But now that Zume has the doughbot, as they’re calling it, it means that the only part of the pizza assembly process that requires a human touch is the toppings.

That is contradictory. They say that the dough is made by hand, but that the only part of the pizza requiring a human touch is the toppings.

My 3 roombas are named Hose A, Hose B and Hose C. My Robotic lawnmower is named C*nts way low. My Scooba is named Pepee. (Leaves a wet floor)

Dont get robots. Battery replacement is damned expensive.

When I was at Domino’s, making a large pepperoni under 30 seconds was the standard. I could usually do it in about 21 or so.

[Windflier]

That’s all well and good, but are they going to pay these robots a ‘living wage’?

[Wolfie]

They’re not gonna need a pizza evey nine seconds when nobody has a job.

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Music for the thread.

As an America with Italian ancestors I was intrigued by the thought of a robot able to make a hot pizza in 9 seconds. Turns out the headline was a lie. In reality the robot can take a lump of dough and mash it into a pizza shape in 9 seconds. That is a far cry from a “hot pie”. More fake news.

Don’t gloat, robot makers. In a few years there will be a whole branch of trial lawyers who push for “robot” rights - living wage, right to marry other robots or humans, retirement, etc.

One can find pizza in new york. Not in california :-)

I remember when Little Caesar’s first appeared, promising a pizza made in 5 mintues. Tasted like it too.
