How Food-Bots Are Changing How We Eat | Robots & Us | WIRED - Наука та технологія
When it comes to food preparation, I trust robots more than I do humans.
A.G.I Will be man's last invention
Agree
💯
Who's going to maintain and service the robot?
Those people working at the pizza place sure look happy... Such an inherently human task, slicing cheese and arranging pepperoni. Very fulfilling.
Robots that cook the food are more hygienic than people. That's one superior advantage in food processing.
Because machines totally wash up (since the main issue with hygiene in food prep is with cross-contamination from food products... not the person). Which means you need multiple machines to take the place of one person in order to avoid cross-contamination.
+John West IV
As production scales up for robotics, multiple machines will cost very little compared to the salary of a human worker.
Also, you wouldn't even need to purchase another machine to clean other machines. You can just add attachments to your current machines that allow it to clean itself.
Makes me think of those Dominoes employees who put boggers and snot into a pizza
epSos.de ah you haven't heard about metal shavings in food products.....check your recalls...
epSos.de then we better call Chipotle
they are saying that putting food in an oven is dangerous, they simply have to place it on the conveyer and not put their hand inside the oven
I think the loving, caring, we aren't going to replace workers attitude is a facade. That was just better than saying now we don't need someone working with the oven, because we automated it.
MotherEric eh, I don't see how the machines in that pizzeria make any sense at all. I worked in a pizzeria for quite a while, and spreading sauce and putting something in the oven takes such a minuet, insignificant amount of time, that there is no possible way they are saving any money. The cost of purchasing robots, the upkeep, and the skilled labor to maintain them can be incredibly expensive. This doesn't even make financial sense to do this.
However, I have no problems with automation. Automation doesn't mean jobs are eliminated, it means they move to more skilled labor. I work in IT for a hosoital, for instance. Used to, there were records keepers. However, due to the emergence of computers, only a select few remain. The number of nurses and physicians needed not only hasn't gone down, but it is rising. Despite some of those record keeper jobs being eliminated, there are FAR more employees now, rather than before. Computers may have eliminated records keepers, but you need a LOT of skilled labor in IT to maintain all computers, scanners, emails, servers, laptops, networks, security, data storage/backups, provisioning, vendor (3rd party) programs, and more. Technology does not eliminate jobs, it just raises them to more skilled labor, and typically creates many more jobs than just the ones transferred.
MrTichoify I heard the same arguments for the auto industry and yet we have all these out of work auto workers...why is that? The basic flaw in your logic is that the average worker cannot perform IT work...
The debut job of SKYNET
If alternative is begging for jobs that rich people's kids will never do, then fuck it, BRING IT ON!
The hope is that the workers it displaces will be moved to higher skilled jobs where productivity is increased. The reality is that this won't happen to many of these workers, at least not until we have UBI and our laws change.
randomhkkid their kids will tho. It hapened to the old farmers of the 19th century. Dont worry america at least has a big enough economy that can easily adapt to these changes.
What's wrong with a society where working isn't a matter of life and death ?
Governments just need to move their asses and implement a UBI, because AI and automation are threatening EVERY job (even high-skilled ones, just look at DeepMind that can detect cancers with a 89% accuracy rate compared to 73% for pathologists)
Nothing's wrong with it. I totally agree, UBI and tax on robots will have to be implemented. There's a psychological problem with telling people to trust an AI with a 11% failure rate, also legal ramifications as current laws need to change to reflect this new technology. I'm an engineer working towards AI and automation and I'm all for it.
+randomhkkid Robots solely shouldn't be taxed as there exists better ways of collecting the taxes. I think we ought to move towards 100% inheritance tax world wide, then we'd start progressively to tax equity income and let's say that 2x of the amount of UBI of equity income would be tax free as to encourage wider stock owner base instead of all the stocks accumulating to the few who can afford them.
Inheriting wealth is inefficient as it makes it possible to accumulate shitton of money and makes possible inefficient usage of resources. E.g we could make 10 Priuses instead of 1 Ferrari with the same amount of effort and resources, which would you think is better for all of us?
@Artus Barris Are you referring to lowering the minimum wage? Wages are set by supply and demand so 'we' refers to the whole economy.
that last guy definitely knows he's being replaced
He also looks like he might be an illegal immigrant from Mexico. LOL
Daniel Janney Ruined My Life exactly how does someone "look" illegal?
You will probably call the robot racist next too, though. LOL
Asia Mayfield Let the guy have is opinion, I may disagree with his logic, but he is allowed to have it.
Daniel Janney Ruined My Life Please Stop Using Sophisticated Terms To Make People Look Dumb In The Argument
That robot arm that puts the pizza in the oven is totally un-necessary.
Not if you're thinking about eliminating the human tasks at 100%...
Steven m that's so bogus.. watch pizza cooks with a long handled wooden paddle. I have many a cook...no burns...
seriously? it takes an experienced cook 5 seconds to spread the sauce....its all about replacing uppity workers..
I worked in a pizza place, its pretty hard to burn yourself unless you are an utter mong.
Spreading the sauce is one of the hardest parts of marking the pizza. Also, who makes the dough? A person? It's only as fast as the weakest link.
"to give people better more satisfying jobs?" LOL those workers at 2:38 sure do look satisfied with their better jobs.
I wonder how much that robot costs...
Mama Mimi less than a worker in 10 years.
you gotta include the repair/maintenance cost, but prolly still less than a worker in 10 years
Mama Mimi people who build robots and the people who buy them are deceiving the media...it has not much to do with cost, and everything to do with the fact they don't like people. robots don't talk back, robots dont take breaks, robots will work 24/7. robots dont take workmen comp. Robots allow you to pursue profit without human needs getting in the way...they are also a massive tax write off because they depreciate, wheras they can't declare humans as chattel.
Max Maker, ten years? More like one or two years, tops. A conveyor type machine flipping patties before adding bread, veggies and condiments is actually quite easy to build. Tons of first year engineering students has done this already. I'm actually quite surprised that this isn't a thing yet! Same thing goes for other food items like pizzas and pancakes: easy to make, low cost, decent income potential, and limited labor costs: one person can easily maintain several locations!
Stein-Erik Dahle. You sure it's easy? I can see a beginner programming a single motor. That other stuff looks like it requires mechanical engineers and software engineers. Coordinating several motors that are spinning along differing axes looks like a daunting task.
Actually, modern mechanization have already cut the number of workers needed on a farm--and this is before robots. It used to take a large army of farm workers to harvest a large field of vegetables, but now it requires a lot less.
I agree that automation is great for repetitive, high volume tasks while humans are great at creative tasks.
Ha, "creativity" can be programmed, way better than a human.
unfortunately that wont be true very soon. Ultimately you can actually program AI to recognize a pattern that seems almost creative, which for most people they dont think deep enough to see the difference between something truly artistic and something that was generated. Look at music today, lots of people consider it music but if you actually dig deep into what aspects of music were appreciated within the brain, youd see that music is meant to have a complexity behind it that unites everything into a symphony, music today though is entirely a repetitive beat all done electronically and then slap some random nonsense of words because they sound like it matches the beat. There is no depth to it, this will make it extremely easy for AI to replicate the style and most people wont be able to tell the difference as they wont know what music really was to begin with.
And the bullshitting awards goes to the pizza lady
Will we forgot how to make food?
Mama Mimi We will forget many things and if the earth is hit with an EMP from the sun that destroys all our electronics we will be fucked
Youd be surprised at our ability to survive.
does the existence of restaurants make you forget cooking? then , no.
First, it's called a solar flare. Second, it can't destroy all our electronics. Third, we still have books
To take a fatalistic point of view, solar flares would not be the biggest realistic issue that can be imagined and books, for efficiency and economic reasons could potentially be electronic based only. But, good parents or relatives would savy to teach their children the basics of cooking....if not for economic reasons
There are two forces at work. Automated mass production, and consumerism. Mass production is only useful if your intent is to sell (or alternatively give away) lots and lots of the product.
The issue is much more complex than just saying robots will put everybody out of work - Somebody still has to buy the goods. So... We'll have to see how it evolves, but it's not just going to be rampant automation, and mass layoffs all the way. I expect a much more organic transition to whatever is coming.

So you're saying my pizza wasn't purely made by hands, instead with robot hands? :o , how much I give a sh't.
Anywhere I can find more footage of the machinery at 2:50?
More people should watch this; start understanding were getting pushed into more STEM fields through our advancement in techs we need to keep up or we fall.
1:08 Spongebob is losing his job...
here's the thing, if the robots don't replace her workers, they'll replace her competition's workers and they'll lower the prices till she cant compete, then once she's gone they'll just go right back up.
instead of an arm they could have it just slide from one to the other by not having a changing in direction!
That Pizza factory insults my inner New Yorker Italian.
They shouldn’t lie to people about the goal isn’t using robots to replace workers. That’s literally the point of a robot!
Loving this new series
Wow! so good job with the #Robots :)
They love that word "unsafe."
lol that burned pizza at the end...
"Theres so many of us theres so many of us theres so many us theres so many of us
theres so many!"
Do you know the song?
great contents. super informative
my life and I think partly it's because of Amazon's design that if it comes out will greatly influence pro automated food production and delivery
I wonder how many of the intellectuals in the video actually have had their own business because it shows. Government forces more drastic change in the market that always the worker pays the price. A business has to be able to function. Automation isn't the enemy nor is the business for the most part. Small businesses are usually more ethical than large, but small businesses are more sensitive to market change than a large one.
the title is is wrong it's more like " how food-bots are changing how we prepare our food" it does create normal food not different food
"Robots aren't here to take human jobs" says the lady that now has less works because she made a good part of her job automated
2:40 Look how that guy has to wait for the other guy to put an especific ingredient before he can do his. Lmao.
Great. Maybe they would improve quality? didn't think so.
0:06 WELP...There goes spongebob's job in the krusty krab I guess..
on a five-year window, those workers are screwed.
as far as I remember I still eat my pizza with my hand, when did robots change that huh
I read the title like: How Food-Bots Are Changing How We Eat Robots

Why do fast food workers want $15 when some paramedics don't make that much
Wait these guys at 2:59 want $15 an hour for working at a fast food restaurant?
ever heard of inflation? Can you really survive on anything less? A broken bone can bankrupt you.
If it was inflation then all jobs would receive a pay raise.
Employers pay employees what they want, except less than the minimum wage. Its up to them if they want to account for inflation. Many products like healthcare and education don't necessarily follow the national inflation rate either, but are still inflated services.
You start negotiations high so you can settle for something in-between like $10-$12/hour
Hi Salinas!!! 3:58
My condolence to the chef
...
If you show this video to the people 10 years ago they would think it an April fool's joke
There goes the first job that I was able to get at 16.
24 HOUR ROBOT RESTAURANTS please
I'd rather play video games than do labour that a robot can do, so I welcome the robots and the universal basic income.
Remember a food server/preparer leaving a loogie in my glass. Can't imagine a machine doing that.
A case of mistaken identity I assume since the server treated me very courteously the next time.
We are cooking from the heart! A robotic core heart.
Raising labor costs only gives companies incentive towards automation.
Bet nobody’s here for there homework cos of lock down cos I know I am 🤣✌🏼
I am and it sucks :
Candii 😣
Productivity and efficiency are the goals. Everything that can be automated, should be automated. We should all move on to do the work that can't be done as well with automation until there is virtually no work left for us humans to do in order to have the same or more goods and services to consume worldwide. We should implement healthcare for all, education free education, free internet, etc as well as a basic citizen income for all to replace all current entitlement and insurance programs that will let ALL people live above the poverty line, not hungry, not homeless, not shamed or shunned in far greater Equality. All of this will/can have a wonderfully equalizing effect if we choose not to let oligarchs rule the automation. 3D printing robotic arms in every home, open source software and designs, etc will also help ensure people have tools to be inventive and productive without "jobs" also.
i bet a robot cant make a 7 layer burrito
can't wait to get my latte served by a stupid robot at starbucks!
I want a robot chef in my kitchen.
nobody would go on strike. the idea is that infinite more food could be produced more efficiently for people
come up to canada minimum wage is going up to 15$ an hour starting January
6:05 so you're telling me a robot can't send a quiery to the local farmers and supermarkets? Or simply respond to a query with what it's been harvesting/planting that day/week ext....
Just because it happened before, nobody mentions that yes I has happened before but the transition was exceptionally painful for anyone looking for a job over those decades.
Where Dey @?
Im sure robots will do better than other 16-19 year old kids at flipping burgers.
Yes but will it blend?
Bring it on
A robot will replace the owner of the pizza place eventually too.
when I see this makes me proud that I live in this century. ^_^
Right!
So what's the interest of "Adobe Marketing Cloud" in this?
Every time I hear a sentence start with "Robots can't-..", it always follows with something robots will obviously be able to do, if differently and more efficiently. As for asking what's coming this season, her producer could just set up a Twitter account. It's not a human interaction. But enjoying a chat with someone is not your job to begin with.
I was laughing a little at that too, I've never talked to (nor thought about talking to) a produce farmer about what's going to be good next season.
farmers left the fields to work in factories, but that's one field of manual labor to another... but I'm not sure what percent of fast food workers will leave the deep fryer to work in an engineering firm... just about everything someone "unskilled" can do a robot can do too given a few years of development.
Its not the same.... there's gonna be a lot more poor folks in the very near future
Millions of new jobs for the people who can fix all that stuff when it breaks down !
Machines are taking over
you cant stop progress, just how it is, plus automisation drives down the cost of goods .
The problem with the argument that robots are replacing human workers in jobs that are dangerous, hard, boring or that robots can do better is that at some point, ALL jobs could be described that way.
It's a generalization, it assumes perspectives it does not have, and it leaves no room for any type of work to be considered "enjoyable". What if someone actually loved the entire process of making pizza by hand? What if a farmer was plenty happy to pick apples or lettuces to sell?
B-but the engineer who designed this robot sure put his love into it so the food quality is guaranteed! Yep.
Considering modern societies, automation in the future is pretty much inevitable. It will widen the wage gap, potentially resulting in the second great depression, and clashes will happen. Depends on speed of adoption and other stuff.
And I'm not saying that automation is purely a bad or good thing for societies overall, it depends on how it's used and how things are balanced overtime. But arguments coming from owners or PR people from businesses will always be biased towards shinning some good light on the whole thing. Ask the workers that are losing their supposedly awful/risky/boring jobs.
I mean I really like those vice, wired and vox videos and all but I really start to think that those media outlets pay youtube to be recommended more often on people's feed
These seem more like machines rather than robots. It is not like one thing can make all the food, they need varying machines for different tasks.
maybe we are destined to eat WARM instead of HOT.
It doesn't really matter how many companies do it "right". It only takes one going fully automated without attracting protests to sweep an entire industry. The thing is though, that seems pretty inevitable to me. If not here, then china will do it on such scale that good companies will always be held down by the pricing offered by full autos. That considered, it seems fairly daft to do anything other than figure out how the economy will have to change to fit into a world where very few humans will be required to work. Seems like fighting automation is only going to prolong the pain of transitioning the entire socioeconomic system of a world super power.
Does anyone actually want to flip pizzas 9 hours a day, every day of the week, for minimum wage, in a pale white, sterile facility, not seeing a single sunray during daytime? Or do we want to play around with robots instead, as if they're toys, continually stimulating our creativity and letting us spend more time with family and friends, not feeling exhausted and burned out?
the point of technology is to free humans from the burden of simple tasks so we can focus more on harder things or leisure. Obsession with keeping jobs is ridiculous. Just make sure when these robots do take the jobs that we also make sure everyone is taken care of and nobody gets left without basic necessities
Some video in 2050: "A fast food restaurant with real human employees".
Robots: My grandmotherboard talks me about it when I was in beta.
Bring on the robot future.
The human race will finally have all the time in the world to focus on itself.
and they used robot to manufacture those robots!
that's meta
MrBlitzpunk the irony
This will deny a lot of people from their jobs, not saying automation is bad but what that female said was just straight out dumb. People who do these "boring" jobs don't do them for fun they do it to put food on table and roof over the head for themselves and their family.
What I wanted to hear in this video was a "solution" of what will happen to those people? They don't have education, government wont pay for them to go back to school and its not like they are all mentally capable to do so in first place.
It indeed is scary but when its used in the correct way then its a boon for us as customers as well. There is one food app technology which uses similar AI tech to understand your mood and suggest places accordingly. Watch this ad they made ua-cam.com/video/LE3C1FJutYw/v-deo.html ... like it if you appreciate such tech...
technology have gotten so advanced that in a comple of year won't be able to do any think for your self
No Job for people>>No money>>No consumers.
2:44 his facial expression does not comply with what her boss is saying to the camera. Coincidence? I think not.
I can see the universities and the education industry making big bucks at the engineering and science field...
and yet the cost of food is not going down. workers are getting low pay and the profits are going to individuals spending that on passion projects like "flying cars"
I'm so glad I'm going to uni on September for computer science, that way I will still have a job after that, oh wait, by the time I finish uni there will probably be robots that can do coding better than any human, well fuck guess the robot apocalypse isn't quite as far as we expected it to be...
That lady from Zume pizza is downright the creepiest woman I've ever seen.
i feel like some of these robots are slower than humans
standard income
apple industry is having labor shortages while workforce participation is at an all time low?? Why can't they just pay people enough to do it?? that's how markets are supposed to work right?
Are the guys in 2:38 legal workers
Whats with the bandannas? Insecticide I imagine? I dont think that protects them, and it certainly doesn't protect those eating it.
Matrix and Terminator vibe coming soon
How about instead of replacing people outright, teach them the inner workings of the robots so they can keep them running at optimum efficiency. It's not being a mechanic, its just let them do something and stay hired, also you won't have to pay a lot for a technician to come out. I'm sure there are pros and cons to this idea but isn't it better than being fired?
