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.

The dough could be *created* by hand but then spun and molded into a pizza shape by a robot. IOW, somebody has to make the dough for the robot to manipulate into a pizza.

Not only that, but further down in the article, it says Zume specializes in piping hot chocolate cookies made by robots and delivered by waiters on electric skateboards.
