“Move over human grill cooks, White Castle is teaming up with Miso Robotics to test an automated sous-chef. The aptly named Flippy—an AI-enabled kitchen assistant—is set to join the staff at a Chicago-area burger joint for a trial run that could usher in a new era of robot hash slingers.

Since its unveiling in 2018, Flippy has cooked more than 40,000 pounds of fried food—including 9,000 sandwiches at LA’s Dodger Stadium, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Chase Field, and two CaliBurger locations, where it works alongside humans to increase productivity and consistency”

I know an engineer who began work on a top-secret project back in 2006. It was to do exactly this, create a robotic burger cooking station for a major fast-food chain (he had signed a draconian NDA which prevented him from naming them, but it's the one who has the red-haired girl in their logo). The customer pulled the plug on the project in 2009 and the robots never were deployed.

hmmm......2009? Who do you think might have applied political pressure to his customer in 2009?

Flippy won’t spit in you burger, take long breaks, burn the order, ask for a raise or not show up on time if at all................

In my college days, it was Little Tavern death burgers served up by lady ex-cons with flabby tattoed arms in an aroma of B.O.

Of course, we were drunk when scarffing down our death burgers.

Good times. Good times.

Robot burger flippers can't be intimidated at gunpoint.

I used to frequent a White Castle at 8 Mile and Grand River in Detroit. The entire counter was behind bullet-proof Lexan. You received your order from a lexan Lazy Susan.

(This is not the store, but gives you an idea:)

Soon all fast food stores will look like this, for COVID reasons, not robbery prevention ones.

White Castle? White is racist because “whites” are racist. Castle is racist because everyone knows most castles are from Europe that has mostly “white” people (who, by the way, are racist). So, therefore, we must insist that they rename company to Black Dungeon. /sarc

Give them a built-in firearm to use on some of the nastier customers and we have a winner.

Saturday night and it’s gettin’ late
I’m gettin’ hungry, I just can’t wait
Not just any kind of burger will do
I’m being hit by those
White Castle blues

Little Tavern

You must have had them a generation after I did...

Don't remember the last time I had one, but it must have been around 1970.

Frozen sliders with or w/o cheese make perfect snacks. I thin slice a tomato and put that on the cheese. Coat the meat side with mustard and add a thin sliced dill pickle. Wrap that in a piece of paper towel splashed with water pop it in the micro set on beverage warmer time.

"Miso Robotics is the company behind Flippy, the AI-powered Robotic Kitchen Assistant that cooks food perfectly and consistently, every time."

Why am I reminded of "Idiocracy"?

A robot??? But I thought they cooked those things by sticking them under the steamy armpits of a 600lb illegal immigrant!
