PIZZA MAKING ROBOTS

 SPOTLIGHT FALLS ON “PIZZA MAKING ROBOTS” DURING THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC TO REDUCE HUMAN TOUCH.


Being in this Global Pandemic, the ultimate goal of all the nations is to flatten the curve. So, maintaining social distancing is inevitable. But one cannot deny the cravings of Pizza and Donuts. But considering the Human touch , yeah most of us didn't order Pizzas at the beginning of the lockdown, but now that is not the case . Pizza making robots can make 300 pies an hour. Yeah, you heard me right.They make about 300 pies of 14 inches in just an hour.


   


The pizza robot consists of smaller robots that work in a coordinated manner with the main machine to make a pizza by following the customer’s recipe.The pizza making robot has a capacity to deliver up to 150 pizzas in an hour while supporting over 20 ingredients, and can be cleaned in less than 15 minutes. It can be integrated with an existing point of sale (POS), and can be controlled using devices like an iPad or an Android-based tablet, it added.



This pizza robot system streamlines the tedious process of pouring sauce, spreading cheese, and arranging toppings on Pizzas.                     The pizza-making robot is a thing of the future that is quickly becoming present-day with the unveiling of a compact pizza-making machine that can churn out hundreds of 12-inch pies.Another benefit is since the machine is a robot and not a human worker, companies can accurately track exactly how much ingredients have been used and how much gets used per pizza. A company looking to cut costs could program the robot to use slightly less cheese per pizza, compounding into more significant savings over time. That speed comes in handy in places where large numbers of orders come in during a rush, such as at a stadium or in large cafeterias. It’s also compact enough that it could theoretically be installed in a food truck.Once an order for a pizza has been made, it enters a digital queue in the platform, which starts making the pie as soon as the dough is put in place. The robot has a vision system that allows it to make adjustments if the pie is slightly off-center. It’s also hooked up to the internet and sends data back to Picnic so the system can learn from mistakes.

ROBOT REVOLUTION IN FOOD BUSINESS:





Robotics researchers, restaurant executives, industrial engineers, consultants and economists said, however, automation in the restaurant and fast-food sectors is not as simple as installing automatic tellers in banks or employing robots to assemble cars.While any rise in the minimum wage puts pressure on restaurant operators, they said a robot revolution in the $783 billion U.S. restaurant industry is still years away."It's not like we're at the precipice of a revolution where the minimum wage goes up, and all these jobs disappear," said Ken Goldberg, a professor of engineering and director of the People and Robots Initiative.

Many kitchen jobs still are too complex for robots, which can’t multitask and don’t necessarily work safely with humans in cramped spaces, experts said. While robots excel at complex calculations and precise, repetitive tasks, they have difficulty doing some things that are easily mastered by small children — such as stacking blocks and sensing objects in space.

HOW THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN GOOD FOR THESE ROBOTS:  Robot about the size of a golden retriever, became commercially available last year for industrial uses—inspecting construction sites, patrolling power plants, and other chores in places a wheeled robot can't go.Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and Spot learned some new tricks.In the past six months, Spots have delivered food to quarantined patients in Singapore, and danced around at a Japanese baseball game as a mechanical substitute for human fans.

If you are learning machine learning for getting a high profile data science job then you can’t miss out learning these best machine learning algorithms. Here, we will go through classification and regression algorithms. While there are many more algorithms that are present in the arsenal of machine learning, our focus will be on the most popular machine learning algorithms. These ML algorithms are quite essential for developing predictive modeling and for carrying out classification and prediction. These ML algorithms are the most useful for carrying out prediction and classification in both supervised as well as unsupervised scenarios. REGRESSION: Before knowing what is linear regression, let us get ourselves accustomed to regression. Regression is a method of modelling a target value based on independent predictors. This method is mostly used for forecasting and finding out cause and effect relationship between variables. Regression techniques mostly differ based on the number of ...

A GENTLE INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE LEARNING CONCEPTS

  Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves. The process of learning begins with observations or data, such as examples, direct experience, or instruction, in order to look for patterns in data and make better decisions in the future based on the examples that we provide. The primary aim is to allow the computers learn automatically without human intervention or assistance and adjust actions accordingly. Some Machine Learning Methods Machine learning algorithms are often categorized as supervised or unsupervised. Let's see them in brief with some illustrations. Supervised Learning As the name indicates, supervised learning involves machine learning algorithms that learn under the presence of a supervisor. Learning unde...

WHY IS NODE JS A GOOD CHOICE TO LEARN IN 2020? In case you're wondering "what is Node.js?" It's a JavaScript runtime environment which allows the infrastructure to build and run an application. It’s a light, scalable, and cross-platform way to execute code. It uses an event-driven I/O model which makes it extremely efficient and makes scalable network application possible. With more than a billion downloads, Node.js thrives in building real-time applications, Internet of Things, and micro services. It’s gaining traction faster than any other technology and ranks in the top most-in-demand developer skills. Why  Node.js ? Node.js offers the developers the luxury of writing the server-side applications in the JavaScript. Since JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages, most of the front-end developers have a good grasp over it.Node.js has been regarded as a full-stack JavaScript for serving both the client and the server-side applications. Therefore, th...
