And then the second time they come in, they seem not to even notice it, just take it for granted," he said. “When we put a robot into a location, the customers that come up and order, they all take pictures, they take videos, they ask a bunch of questions. But once Miso's team finished that machine, they realized there was a much tighter bottleneck at the fry station, particularly late at night.īell said Flippy 2 makes a splash - at first. The robot's name comes from Flippy, an earlier robot designed to flip burgers. Miso said it took five years to develop Flippy and recently made it commercially available. It does it faster or more accurately, more reliably and happier than most humans do it,” Bell added. “When an order comes in through the restaurant system, it automatically spits out the instructions to Flippy," Miso Chief Executive Mike Bell said in an interview. Miso Robotics Inc in Pasadena has started rolling out its Flippy 2 robot, which automates the process of deep frying potatoes, onions and other foods.Ī big robotic arm like those in auto plants - directed by cameras and artificial intelligence - takes frozen French fries and other foods out of a freezer, dips them into hot oil, then deposits the ready-to-serve product into a tray.įlippy 2 can cook several meals with different recipes simultaneously, reducing the need for catering staff and, says Miso, speed up order delivery at drive-through windows.
