So… One will still need to refill the cups with the product at the exact levels. This machine is just taking the fun part out of cooking with a wok.

They invented a Thermomix but worse.

Yeah this is both hilarious and scary to me… because I used to make the rice, but now I repair and program the robots

I honestly thought technology would be more advanced than that right now. That’s pretty sad.

Who is chopping everything and putting it all in the little measuring cups? By the time you’ve done that I’ve already almost made the whole thing.

Robots already so cocky he doesn’t even wanna do his own prep 🤣.

What was the point of touching the rice with a spatula?
Im super hungry for fried rice all of a sudden
geekgirlnz
That spoon’s doing some heavy lifting.

At least I won’t have to leave a tip anymore.

Robot chef repair school sounds fun.

Okay but when do we get the robot that preps all the cups? That’s the one I want.
Real_Glizzy_McGuire
Spend a boat load of cash to make some shitty looking fried rice lol your doors will be closed before you’ll ever recoup the cost of purchasing “cooking” robots. Also who’s going to fix them when they inevitably malfunction or break? Save the robots for auto manufacturing and brain surgery

They gonna make Uncle Roger take leg down from chair.

I NEED to see Uncle Rodgers reaction to this

Too slow clanker

But how many cigarettes can it smoke
HankTuggins
That looks like shit, Chef and you made a mess, and you made someone else do all your prep.
Congratulations on inventing a worst hand mixer, I guess
JelliedHam
That will be $800k and an entire engineering department to maintain to make one at a time.
Meanwhile Manuel is out there doing 6 at a time for $15/hour…
This feels just like the toaster analogy: the cheaper something is, the higher the likelihood is just assembled by hand. Walmart toasters aren’t just stamped out by Jetson’s widget machines. Your new Toyota Highlander might be, but that stir fry at lunch came from a bunch of grunts who take their meals in the back alley sitting on milk crates.

6x slower 5x more expensive and guaranteed to get you in trouble with the health department

Hope ya like metal shavings of that wok in your friend rice! Added minerals!

When I met my wife she had this huge Italian machine that you just poured the beens in and a minute later or so, espresso.
It broke and the part cost as much as the machine so now we have this tiny thing for $300 that makes one cup or two you load you grind the beans.

You’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?

I do not know for certain, but I strongly suspect this is some kind of demo, or perhaps a student project, promoted by the DENSO robotics company. I’ll go so far as to suspect that the full demo includes some bragging about how fast it was to set it up and train it. I mean, it’s two robot arms mounted to a table, and the wok / mixer thing appears to be some kind of commercial kitchen hardware (and I’ll speculate that it costs more than the robotic arms). There quite possibly *are* machines that make fried rice on a large scale (and then package it and freeze it to ship out to supermarkets, etc)(again, I don’t know for certain). But NFW is this kind of automated small-scale serving production going to be cost-effective.
Again: this is the sort of project that gets handed off to interns or kids in the high school robotics class. And that’s not a bad thing. But this setup isn’t taking anyone’s job.

I’ve seen this stuff enough and I’m no longer impressed with it – it’s generally impressive, just seen it before.
Show me the cycling system of cleaning, washing the dishes and then getting the mise en place in order.
That’s what’s up.
celephais228
So, the dishes will be cheaper, right? …right?
FirstNameLastName918
It’ll break down after five cycles. Believe me I maintain robots in a large manufacturing setting. They suck. Humans are 100x more efficient.

Until it can bang a server, it won’t replace cooks
BenitoCorleone
Who did the prep??
FecalAlgebra
That doesn’t even look like very good fried rice… Feels like the order and timing is wrong.
Maybe I’m weird but I’d throw everything but the rice and egg in and cook them a second. Then throw egg in and just barely let it cook on the edges, and quickly throw in rice and toss the liquidy eggs over the rice. Throw in sauces, let egg cook onto the rice, and done.
I guess my main gripe is how much the eggs cooked before the rice was mixed in.
