RE: CT News: Flippy The Burger Flippin Robot Was Taken Offline! It Was Just Too Slow!

in #steemstem7 years ago

This is just a hiccup. It’s just a matter of upgrading the firmware and maybe the actuators.

There is no politically viable scenario where these kinds of robots don’t take over burger flipping and similarly low skilled tasks.

Flippy has a high fixed cost on purchase but then very low variable cost as it operates over months and years. People are the exact opposite. The more business you do, the less economical paying someone to flip burgers is.
