The kitchen assistant, known as 'Flippy', was designed by a startup called Miso Robotics which specializes in "technology that assists and empowers chefs to make food consistently and perfectly, at prices everyone can afford."

[...] Flippy uses feedback-loops that reinforce its good behavior so it gets better with each flip of the burger. Unlike an assembly line robot that needs to have everything positioned in an exact ordered pattern, Flippy's machine learning algorithms allow it to pick uncooked burgers from a stack or flip those already on the grill. Hardware like cameras helps Flippy see and navigate its surroundings while sensors inform the robot when a burger is ready or still raw. Meanwhile, an integrated system that sends orders from the counter back to the kitchen informs Flippy just how many raw burgers it should be prepping.

Flippy in action!

    What the fuck. No, not everyone has a need for social domination. What, did your mother not hug you enough or something?

      That is called discipline not domination. It is easy for the child mind to confuse the two.

        Yes, because you can discipline that which you have no dominion over. By the way, how's that whole North Korea thing going?

      Yeah that's not domination. That's "douse your head in water and repent." Believe me, you are doing a fine job of lowering your own perceived social cachet in here without me adding to it...

    Hey, I didn't say I approved of it. I'm just making an observation about how the technological species on this planet behaves.

    I wish I knew what to do about it. More hugs would probably help.
