Flippy the burger-flipping robot is on a break already

quote [ Flippy, the burger-flipping robot that threatens to supplant short-order cooks, has taken its first extended break.

But the burger maker isn't blaming balky robotics for the snafu. Rather, it says humans -- or in this case, not enough of them -- are at fault. ]

An update to New Burger Robot Will Take Command of the Grill in 50 Fast Food Restaurants

Will they figure out a way to remove the human element sooner or hope that training does the job? Seems to be the big question.

This robo arm was made by a company called miso robotics. 2 years old. There are already a host of companies that create machines for the production of ready to eat meals. Miso robotics is more Noka and Juicero than Nestle and Pepsico.

When a company called something like Inafune Agricultaral Robotic Concern has a booth at a industry convention than i'll take it seriously. Right now, this just looks like someone fishing for a Google buyout.
