I just can not understand the fascination companies have with making robots do food preparation, and just directly replacing the human on the line instead of building an entire automated line for it. There is literally no reason to include a robot arm in the process of taking salad from a container into another container.
The worst ones are the burger flipping robots since fully automated assembly lines that take in the rear quarter of a cow and shit out perfectly cooked burger patties already exist yet McD's just insists that it must be flipped by a fucking robot arm at some point during cooking.
Pretty much this. The problem is much simpler than what people with the $$$ think it is. If we truly wanted, McD's should just be a single assembly line for burgers.

I guess it depends on the specific application. Maybe arms and other robotics mimic humans because they can be retrofitted to work with existing configurations in restaurants, maybe they're cheaper or maybe they allow for hybrid work.
I dunno, I just don't see a random incel who knows nothing about robotics, let alone the industry or a specific business, being correct about his assessment that he's right and the people running their own companies are wrong.

I work in the food industry and have years of experience with various methods of preparing near every kind of processed food, including but not limited to manufacturing fully cooked burger patties at an industrial scale.
Just the part of the machine that shapes ground meat into a burger and then cooks it costs less than the average annual salary of a burger flipper. It's not fucking magic, it's a well understood science. How'd ya think the burger patties and microwave hamburgers sold at supermarkets are made?
There is simply no universe where McD's employing even a single full-time employee researching burger flipping robots would be worth the cost premium of just buying machines that cook the burgers evenly on both sides at once.
McDonald's hamburgers taste better than "microwavable supermarket hamburgers" though. The industrial meat machine at the plant where you worked packing and shipping boxes of hamburger patties wouldn't fit in a McDonald's anyway.
The taste is purely because of cost cutting on the ingredient side. Nothing's preventing the manufacturer from just shoving 100% beef in there any more than a regular grill.
Also you are severely overestimating the size of these machines. Smallest I've seen was 12 feet long. It's just two teflon-coated heated conveyer belts facing each other.
It's not just a "burger", it's a "McDonalds burger". McDonalds wants to preserve the taste of their food, no matter where you eat it in the world, and no matter what technological improvements they make before the food gets to the restaurant. That's why they have to do things that sometimes look strange.
Ever looked at the ingredients list and nutrition values for McDonald's burgers in different countries? >Big Mac Sweden: 525kcal, 27g of fat, 27g of protein >Big Mac Germany: 545kcal, 29g of fat, 27g of protein >Big Mac Canada: 570kcal, 32g of fat, 24g of protein
That is not even trying to be the exact same burger.
A few fluctuations sure. But it only has to taste the same to our taste buds. It doesn't need to have the exact numerical measurements. In that sense it's extremely controlled.
Robots like in OP's picture are for show. What you should be asking is how did those bins get there, how are they replaced, and how are the contents prepared. Humans? Other robots? There's more going on than just the show those arms are putting on for customers.
They've had welding robots for decades, anon, but they're stationary so only useful in factories and for doing predictable easy jobs. There's no automated solution to replace onsite welders doing weird random repairs often in awkward or confined spaces.
People have heard stories of how underwater welders make insane amounts of money and have projected that on to all welding jobs. In reality, even marine welders don't make a whole lot of money unless they do lots of overtime, which is possible on the right project but then, you're eating up your potential free time in the process of making that extra money.
I don't know about America with so many immigrants doing it for nothing but where I live they earn well, they are not going to get rich unless they do some kind of special welding like high altitude welding, but it is a well paid job for the little study it requires and it is not especially heavy.
I wish only weldmonkeys would get rekt by bots but IRL weldmonkeys are cheaper than hardware bots, meanwhile software bots are cheaper than dirt which is why its office jobs that are gonna get rekt by AI, the only difference for welders is that their fatass manager who barks orders at them from his A/C container office is gonna be replaced by an AI and google glass-like thing they'll have to wear.
My advice? learn how to do plumbing, I can't see a plumber robot happening within our lifetimes.
What does a salad bar have to do with welding?
Both are blue collar
If you can run a salad bar you can weld.
Unbelievably s o y. Pic related, it's you.
blue collar loser detected, go buy some more copenhagen loser
I'm actually a senior engineer :). Nice try though! Good luck opening that bottle.
Thanks, patches
Why are the casings so stained?
turmeric
Who tells people to weld? That's such a specific skill unlike painting or drilling or some shit

That's like asking why they keep building humanoid bodies for them pointlessly.
Ultimately they exist based on investment not cost-cutting, and investors are fucking retards.

McDonald's is just beef, salt and pepper.

naggers spit in the food.
t. worked with naggers
And before you ask no I never eat prepared food.

Do people actually think welders get paid decent salaries?
People have heard stories of how underwater welders make insane amounts of money and have projected that on to all welding jobs.

Yeah but be real here for a second; do you REALLY want to spend your life working as a crapper constructor and dookie declogger?
