Pizza-making robot unveiled by secretive Seattle startup Picnic

After three years of quietly toiling away on a robotic food system, Seattle startup Picnic has emerged from stealth mode with a system that assembles custom pizzas with little human intervention.

Now that's the perfect ammout of sauce

[@BlackTalon53]

Terribly uneven distribution of the meat. Also add some scraper so the tomato sauce is distribute more evenly, looks like cow flops on a field.

Put cheese on last to hold everything together

[@jackclemens3125]

No Philip, you've gone too far with this one.

[@elisha770]

Obviously a marketing BS! This 1min clip proves this 'robot' cant do 300 pizzas an hour.

[@josephturi]

In the video takes 1 minute to make a pizza, so 60 pizzas/hour. But 1 cycle i.e: placing cheese on the pizza takes 12 seconds. You can have 5 pizzas queued up for different toppings, so 60 sec / 12 = 5 pizzas/min, 5 pizzas * 60 min = 300 pizzas/hour.

@Ralph Macchiato yeah? Where and who?

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , strain wave reducer, robot joint , over 30 years experience .

That's the problem with this: invented in Seattle, they think this is pizza. Come to NY and see the real thing.

[@gretabologna]

Come to italy ahahah

[@dandannydanielito]

come to chicago

[@gretabologna]

@@dandannydanielito how

[@thehopelesspragmatic6701]

I had pizza in both Italy and NYC, they are same fantastic quality because NY Italian immigrants make the pizza the same way they do at home. Chicago, well they got some good pizza too, I approve all round except this soulless "Settle-robot" pizza.

[@gretabologna]

@@thehopelesspragmatic6701 fantastic man !

[@titter3648]

How is the cheese being dispensed onto the small conveyor?

[@MrBikemech]

It uses an auger/screw.

[@robsservices2533]

items and saucing need to be closer to the edge of the pie

[@MrBikemech]

When it is heated up in the oven it thins out and goes closer to the edge.

[@kaylebmoore415]

That robot hooks you the fuck up

[@user-fc5wq3sb4f]

This is industrial automation

[@jackclemens3125]

No it ain't stupid

[@oggyreidmore]

Robot pizza makers/delivery drivers = $0 labor costs, Robot farming/processing factories = $0 supply cost, Solar panels = $0 utility costs, app based ordering = $0 customer service cost. So...I guess with advanced enough technology there is a such thing as a free lunch.

[@alolocotattoo]

seriously? How can You call it pizza?
It is something looks badly like it but 100% can you not call that pizza.

[@fuzzycho0d3]

Really slow compared to others I have seen

[@vintagegirl1961]

Julia Child robot.

Billion dollars global insight - Monetise as real life, movie, anime, TV drama and thesis to max profits and charity donations. 0:41 Fix global pizza robot machines, meat dispensation step that result in wastage. Perhaps pre-cut meat cubes to be rectangular like ham shaped so it doesn’t roll or fly around to prevent wastage to max profits. If daily global factories meat wastage is $1 daily, over Earth’s lifespan of e.g. 1 billion years. How much profits will max bosses ability to donate to charities when the waste becomes value?

[@nupaconsultora]

I can do it much better than that

[@mariospizzaandwinebar]

no you cant.

[@ollierichards2370]

Me too

[@mariospizzaandwinebar]

ollie Richards no Ollie, you can’t either.

[@theshape7214]

I can too!
