Robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, big data, predictive analytics, machine learning, neuromarketing, the disruption of digital and delivery, and more - the restaurant industry is going to look very different in five years. Seismic shifts are set in motion; most of the industry is ill-prepared.
Four Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates have just opened a restaurant where a robotic kitchen is preparing the meals.
I look forward to the next phase of this movement!
This is not great because many chefs won’t get jobs
Surprising...I suppose somebody needs to add the ingredients at the correct proportion...at least program it for the robot...and of course still need a human mind with sense and know-how that creates perfect tastes and flavours pairings
Great! Now corporate America doesn’t have to pay cooks.
Ok, so here is another leveler. If you examine food delivery across the cuisines how often do you think, "I know i should just dump it all in a bowl?" Until the days of soylent green lets focus on the fact that these guys pushed the boundries.
I think it is import that people need to have a purpose in life, a reason for being, it is says that robots will replace the majority of people, we cannot let ai and robots replace people, people need jobs. Instead we could do with these in the home, whilst keeping people in work
In a kitchen, I put passion into cooking a dish. There's a dab of love and tenderness, a pint of warmth and humour, an ounce of kindness and compassion and a glass of prayer. Has a lot more with human touch than lifeless machines.... besides, you're providing employment opportunities. Why take away humanity?
When they brought out the conveyor belt concept and self-serve tills the soothsayer of doom and gloom come out preaching the end of the world. Did the microwave destroy the family unit?

4 年Yeah Aaron Allen, I agree with you that "most of the industry is ill-prepared". Not only unprepared for robots but they are not even automated in the most simple ways. Like a properly automated web ordering tool.
