Robots that slice, grill, assemble and bag 400 burgers AN HOUR are a step closer to taking over fast food restaurants after $18million funding boost
Robots that slice, grill, assemble and bag 400 burgers in one hour could soon take over restaurants everywhere. Momentum Machines first unveiled its autonomous grill master, which can do the work of three human burger flippers, in 2012. Now the robotics company has secured $18 million (£14 million) in venture funding, reigniting old fears that the machines could soon replace human workers in fast-food restaurants.

ok great...
now those companies that use these machines should have an extra "social responsibility" levy placed on them, to help pay the unemployment benefits of those thus displaced from work (or better yet a citizens wage)

YET another boost to ever-growing unemployment lines -- and the ranks of the 'long term unemployed' -- from those braindead technocrats who never consider the economic fallout..
I never use those odious "self serve" checkouts in supermarkets...
Likewise, I wouldn't be visiting a roboticised "fast food" joint..
Remove this gateway for young people to gain work experience in the retailing sector, and in 10--15 years we will see the same dumbfuck bosses who are championing this technology today, whining that they can't find any "experienced", trained and willing workers to fill increasing vacancies..
Much the same as was seen across the manufacturing sector during the 1990s, after many companies had abandoned apprenticeships and in-house training during the 1980s, and resorted to poaching workers off others.
