Fried Chicken Made by Robots coming to the city (homes, construction)

[BPt111]

Will robots be new trend in 2023 they take over MTA, restaurants, construction ?


Get ready for chicken made by robots in Koreatown at Robert Fried Chicken: 298 Fifth Avenue, near West 31st Street, an 8,400 square-foot Korea-based chain.

Kang Ji-young founded Robo Arete in 2018, a company that makes cooking robots, and now owns six franchise stores of Robert Chicken primarily in Seoul. The restaurant can make “about 40 to 50 portions per hour,” she says. She’s calculated that it doubles the amount of frying it would be possible for a single laborer to do and it shields workers from potentially unhealthy working conditions. Meanwhile, robot cat servers have already descended on NYC dim sum parlors.

And the robots can stick their metal arms directly into the hot grease to retrieve the done chicken.

Now if they can figure out how to robotize the waiters we can all stop tipping.

That’s what happens when FF workers demand “living salaries”

Yea, and the funny thing is they're a pretty small amount of savings and their work generally harder to automate than a lot of white collar jobs that pay *a lot* more and also are more digitized and don't require complex sensory data and recognition systems and motorized controls navigating complex situations. We've been working with building up a lot of fun models that over the next few years are going to bring savings that any use of roboticized fast food service won't come remotely close to.

Restaurants = low margin. White collar industries (generally) = higher margin. There needs to be wage pressure in order for a business to consider automation due to fear of the unknown and expenditure of CAPEX until they can get rid of the humans. In industries with higher margins, there's very little pressure.

Low paying jobs are low paying because the industries they are in are low margin. Simple as that.

Robots won't be sassy, won't be late, won't be addicted to drugs, won't bring family drama to the workplace, won't brawl with their coworkers, etc. All issues prevalent with low wage retail and fast food workers.

A machine won't get my order wrong, miscount change, or talk on their cell phone when I'm trying to order.

Boy, are you ever wrong.

Funny how people have absolutely faith in machines, often to their peril.

A supermarket with an automatic change register was consistently giving me the wrong change for MONTHS - partly because I couldn't seem to convince the manager that something was wrong with it. I'll bet the parents of the boy whose finger was crushed thought nothing could go very wrong playing chess with a robot.
