Miso Robotics, a US-based manufacturer of automated kitchen equipment, has developed a "smart" robotic system for flipping burgers. Known as Flippy, the robotic arm uses cameras to check when a patty is ready to be flipped, turns it over on the grill and then places it in a bun once cooked through. However, humans must still place patties on the grill, lay out the buns for Flippy to fill and cover the final product. Miso Robotics expects robots to more frequently perform routine and risky tasks in the kitchen.
