Not with his Golden Spatula!!!

The next time you place an order at a fast food joint, you could see a robot behind the counter. Flippy is an AI-driven kitchen assistant that can flip burgers and place them on buns, and it debuted today at a CaliBurger restaurant in Pasadena, California. Flippy was developed by Miso Robotics and CaliBurger's owner, Cali Group. It uses cameras, sensors and deep learning software to locate ingredients in a kitchen without needing to reconfigure existing equipment. Not only does it position and flip the patties, it tracks their temperature and cooking time too. When the burgers are done, it alerts a human cook, who applies the cheese and other toppings.

Did women robots join the protest yesterday? I didn’t see any of them protesting...
No, I just googled “robot carhop” and found it.
But, wait we already have the Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters test models.
It does in warehousing - out in The Inland Empire, Ontario, Fontana, etc. Every warehouse owner is looking for ways to get rid of people rather than pay them $15 an hour. Current warehouse wage is $11.50 - the $15 wage is driving warehouse automation at a rapid pace.
All it does is the burger and a human has to do the rest. Really not an automated hamburger sandwich maker if a human does 80% of the work.
It’ll be nice when hamburger prices fall inversely to Moore’s Law.
Ok, thanks.
The robot, no. But consider: "When the burgers are done, it alerts a human cook, who applies the cheese and other toppings."
It would be a nice job to service these robots. They will need service.
That is an urban myth. Those “workers” probably never wash.
But can it do a real burger flipper job? To drop the patty on the floor, spit on it, and screw up your order for no mayo and curly fries?

$15.00/hr is not that much money adjusted for inflation.
Labor is just one component in the retail price of a hamburger, maybe 25% at most. Google it.
Get out much?

How Food and Labor Costs are Calculated
Food and labor costs are calculated as a percentage of the total volume of sales. If a restaurant does $20,000 per week and the total cost of food and beverages is $7,000 for that week, then the food cost is considered 35 percent. If, at the same restaurant, labor (including payroll taxes and benefits) equal $5,000 for the week, then the labor cost is 25 percent. Total prime costs are 60 percent in this example.
What Are the Ranges?
Certain fast food restaurants can achieve labor cost as low as 25 percent, while table service restaurants are more likely to see labor in the 30 percent to 35 percent range. Food costs (including beverages) for the restaurant industry run typically from the 25 percent to 38 percent range, depending upon the style of restaurant and the mix of sales.
Google is your friend
Oh noes $15 hr wage ...geez some FReepers are such morons. The corporations are more interested in replacing the $50k and above employees with robots than the $10 to $15 employees with robots.
Laugh yourselves all the way to the unemployed poorhouse as you squeal with glee those at the bottom end of the work force losing out to robots and joining the unemployed welfare roles. $15 hr is nothing in today’s economy, it is dirt. As a conservative I support people willing to work and fair compensation for their work.
Do you have a life? Please don’t bother me. You are annoying. Like a little kid that just won’t go away.
Applying Moore’s Law to making hamburgers is plain stupid and embarrassing to all Freepers. That makes look us look stupid.
