Excerpt:
The start-up robot firm Momentum Machines is one. Funded by San
Francisco's Lemnos Labs, it has developed a robot designed to take the
place of humans in burger restaurants. Its creators believe their
patty-flipping Alpha robot could save the fast-food industry in the
United States about US$9 billion (Dh33.05bn) a year. Designed to
entirely replace two to three full-time kitchen staff, it can grill a
beef patty, layer it with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions, put it
in a bun, and wrap it up to go - no less than 360 times an hour.
Momentum believes kitchen robots are not only more cost-effective than
human staff, they are also more hygienic.
Silicon Valley technology industry watchers believe businesses will be early adopters of 21st-Century robotics technology.
"Like
PCs, we'll likely see the first wave in business because it can handle
the costs more readily and then move to the high end of the consumer
market," says the Rob Enderle, the principal analyst at the Enderle
Group, based in Silicon Valley.
He adds the robotics industry is
at about the same early stage in its evolution as the personal computing
industry was in the 1980s but believes it will mature more quickly.
