Invasion of robots in the culinary world penetrated the robot food cooker.Introduce Flippy, a 'kitchen robot' from Miso Robotic who works at a burger restaurant called CaliBurger.Flippy was developed using hot technology, 3D imaging, and cameras to find out when to turn and take a burger out of the grill.
In the kitchen, Flippy was in charge of grilling and turning over patty or meat in the middle of a burger sandwich. He also served to make the burger shop kitchen so more effective work and maintain the quality and symmetry of the size of the patty.
However, just a day working in the kitchen, Flippy failed in his probation. Nahas, Flippy was fired on his first day at work.
According to USA Today, during his probationary period in the kitchen, Flippy failed to beat the speed of the (human) employee at the restaurant.
"Most of it is a matter of time," said Anthony Lomelino, chief technology officer of Cali Group quoted from The Daily Meal.
"When you're in the back of the kitchen, working with other people, you're talking to each other, with Flippy you have to work on schedule, imitating all the moves you do, when, and how to do it."
Until now, some burger stores are still displaying the robot arm along with a sign that there is a possibility Flippy will return to work.
"The kitchen of the future will always have people in it, but we see that the kitchen also has robots and humans," said David Zito, owner and chief executive partner of Miso Robotics to KTLA.
"This technology is not to replace human work, we see Flippy as a third hand."
Flippy may be an expert in turning burgers, but he still needs humans as his coworkers to add bread and also his burger topping.
