In this installment of “AI Under the Hood” I introduce “Flippy” by Miso Robotics. Flippy works in fast-food kitchens, operating a frying station for example. The product was decades in the making in terms of research in robotics and machine learning. Flippy is an amalgamation of motors, sensor, chips and processing power that wasn’t possible until just the past few years. The robotic arm is poised to become a regular fixture in high-volume kitchens nationwide in the coming year.
