I know an Engineer who has been working for nearly seven years in a top-secret skunkworks to develop the all-robotic fast food cook station.
It is still not a reality. That tells me that a) the company behind this quakes in fear of the political repercussions, or b) despite their best efforts, it still
ain’t working right.
I went to a science/technology museum last weekend, and near the cafe area there was a completely robot-operated kiosk serving frozen-yogurt. You insert cash or swipe a credit card, pick your options via touch-screen, and watch the robotic arm extract a cup, hold it under the yogurt dispenser, move it to the correct toppings dispenser, move it back for more yogurt, move it back for another topping, and put it in a revolving door for the customer. A small crowd of people stood around to watch, and a frequent comment was that this was probably the wave of the future in food service.
