Here's The Burger-Flipping Robot That Could Put Fast-Food Workers Out Of A Job
"A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs.

"The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds.

"The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem."

It is said that "device isn’t meant to make employees more efficient. It’s meant to completely obviate them."
