Robot Serves Up 360 Hamburgers Per Hour

Posted by Soulskill on from the om-nom-nom dept.

kkleiner writes "No longer will they say, 'He's going to end up flipping burgers.' Now, robots are taking even these ignobly esteemed jobs. San Francisco based Momentum Machines makes a robot called the Alpha that can churn out 360 gourmet burgers per hour. The company plans on launching the first ever burger restaurant chain with a cook staff made entirely of robots. You think Americans are obese right now? Just wait."

    I saw SpongeBob SquarePants serve up thousands of Crabby Patties in just a few minutes!

    "That is a tasty burger."

    Is it?

    I wonder how well it does with "hold the salt" or "lighten up on the mayo."

    At least it won't spit on your burger

  3. Burgers are never flipped at McD or BK by kriston · · Score: 5, Informative

    Burgers are never flipped at McDonalds or Burger King. McDonalds uses a dual-surface grill, contacting the beef from top and bottom. Burger King uses a broiler with flames on the top and bottom.

    No flipping burgers. Note this for future reference.
