Get well soon. Hopefully it's not too bad.

And Mrs. Bacons being absolutely adorable. ^.^ 💖

entediante

Meh, not like you're gonna have a heart-to-heart chat with a food vendor anyway, so what meaningful human interaction was removed exactly? 😂

They still need human to complete the meal!

Less human interaction is what's best for humanity. Just because someone wants to talk to someone doesn't mean they want to talk. I find it disrespectful to talk to a stranger when it's not welcomed.

@@RuSosan I got asked out by a deli counter server and that lead to a 3-year relationship, so you never know 😁

It ain’t that deep fam

Guess this is a prototype for what will eventually be a fully automated machine.

​@@pkmnan00bis That's what I was thinking. They're testing the first automated phase in practical conditions. Then, if it works out they can go to testing the second phase being automated. If it works, no more human workers beyond maintenance. Or it could be just a novelty meant to draw in customers and drive up the price a bit and we're overanalyzing it. Time will tell. 🤔

the robot is fun to watch though

Indeed. The robot is much slower at picking up three dots and adding water than a human would be. And then the human has to still do loads of hard slow stuff at the end.

You don't have to pay a human, The robot can work 24/7 without breaks, delays and or getting sick, It helps keep the cost's down by needing less staff on hand to mange a whole store.

I was like move faster robot arm.

Noticed that at the end too lol. Weird that the machine wouldn't be able to add in the pasta or the toppings?

The ‘nozzle’ for the steamy robot is cleaned with water if you look closely

@@guardianofthegalaxy2051 I'm not talking about the nozzles in the machine, I mean the spoons the lady is adding the last toppings in with. She dunks them in the soup several times.

@@guardianofthegalaxy2051 also how tf do you have to look closely to see they clean the steam nozzle?

right? It's really stupid and makes no sense. And you still need humans at the end of the day..

Yeah, no idea what they gained there by using that robot. Just have a human drop in those cubes, they are anyway there having to add noddles and the toppings. It just increases time taken until the cup is done and having someone stir instead of steaming the cup saves a ton of energy too. I would have understood it if the whole thing was automatic but the way it is it's like redundant.

@@Wolfsschamane Let me tell you if a men is gonna cook you a cup noodle with pre-made instant soup paste, how much are you going to pay?

@@fireblossom8544 Considering that there are even instant soup places around that let you cook packages of bought instant noodles I don't see the problem if the soup is good? Give a bit more variety at the toppings and don't just rely on a gimmick that people won't come again for primarily? Furthermore they could have simply bought a second robot to drop the noodles out and have either an automatic dispenser dropping the toppings in or just let the people do it themselves. It's not like it needed to be the way it is in any way or shape.

@@Wolfsschamane That is the issue, you don't usually know that much of information beforehand, let alone whether you would be believing it or not by just judging from the mysterious soup paste. Setting up a fancy looking automatic robot in the 'cafe' is definitely much more efficient in catching attentions. There are enough shops which rely on new customers you know. Yes and that is the second part, if they are just putting a robot in, would you believe it is some sort of high taste cafe? No, and you need a 'chef' inside to make people pull out their bucks willingly

her forced facial expressions are the worst part of this

I figured that had to be what it was doing, but it's good to get a second opinion.

To be fair, she does that face for everything she eats.

There's probably something there to prevent cross-contamination too. It doesn't make sense that they'd put in all that effort for step 1 and somehow forget it for step 2.

and she covered her stains nicely with the cup.

@@Jackslav what are you on about, lmao

That she's a sob because she has ramen both all over her like the pig she is.

@@neogutzz When she was on the phone you can see the stain on her shirt.

​@idiocracydude7828 good spotting 👏😂

Because people would leave garbage around, not clean the machines, break it or downright vandalize it. It's the same reason we don't have vending machines other than random junk food and soft drinks in most cases. Because someone would take a hammer to it, smash and grab the stuff before leaving. Very different cultures when it comes to public assets. In this case, it's mostly because it costs a lot and is a novelty so naturally nobody would do it here because taking risks is scary lol.

notice how the humans made the noodles lol

​@@sarkaranishwhat's the point of that machine really, takes 2 seconds for the staff to put those dots into the cup

@@testytest3083 right it was incredibly stupid, and makes no sense. It's 7 dollars for soup and noodles, that's insane
