$15/hour minimum wage? Here's a robot that can make a hamburger in 10 seconds.

A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs.
The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds.
The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem."
quote:
Momentum Machines cofounder Alexandros Vardakostas told Xconomy his "device isn’t meant to make employees more efficient. It’s meant to completely obviate them."

Ah, the free market always has solutions to circumvent ridiculous government intrusion. Low skilled workers want more money? We'll just make a robot.

Good. Eventually the poor will be used as fuel for the robots.
Posted on 4/14/16 at 12:59 pm to AUbagman
Yea, but is the robot able to give me a sassy attitude?

Weird. I don't see a hair follicle dispenser or a spit reservoir.

True.. But I feel it's probably more relevant now.

Much like fast food workers, the shake machine robot will always be broke.

I've been waiting for this to happen. Get rid of all the shitty fast food workers and put this in place now!

That's code for "I don't feel like taking the time to make your shake because I think I don't get paid enough but fail to see this very attitude is why I'm 40 and working at a fast food restaurant".

Poors lack concentration.
The US should hold camps to help them concentrate.

Can the robot work the ice cream machine or nah?
Posted on 4/14/16 at 1:15 pm to AUbagman
frick as a freshman in college the whole engineering class made a machine that could make hamburgers for the Rube Goldberg competition

This would be great. They should start wherever the outcry over wages was the loudest.

Not impressed. As the old saying goes, even a monkey can make a hamburger....
