ABB Robots installed by RG Luma are helping specialist food company Honeytop to speed up its pancake production and improve health, safety & hygiene. William Eid a director of Honeytop comments “This is our first investment in robotics technology and we have not experienced a single issue sincethe installation 6 months ago”
Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics mechatronics, and software

Robotics Short Story
The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"

Glad you like it.
This vid is so well produced.
Robots are communism!
now someone REALLY needs to make a YTP of this
WTF? “Stringent hygienic standards” and then they show people handling the pancakes WITHOUT GLOVES??
Nice PPM (Pancakes per minute)
yeah, they free people! so that people have more time to stand in unemployment lines. . . if we had small family owned farms we wouldn’t be this far up the shit creek. I suggest that we get a robot to free you from your job. (lol)
All that, for pancakes. . .
ah, nothing like a little appreciation from someone who gets it
Double edged humor. Very clever.

thats a lot of effeort just for pancakes, i think we should be looking at how we can use technology to feed the poor/sick
No gloves lol
let them eat cakes
At the same time, you’re eliminating jobs for low skilled workers. People that don’t have, or worse, can’t afford a college education. These same people, when put out of jobs by machines, can no longer afford the products made, even at the lower cost.
So awesome!
I agree. That doesn’t seem like super hygiene if they use their bare hands to touch the pancakes.
They’re not robbing anyone from jobs. They’re simply performing better at repetitive, monotonous tasks than humans could. These machines free people. If the same work can be done cheaper, better and with a fraction of the cost that makes products cheaper and more available. You aren’t suggesting we’d get rid of tractors and start plowing field by hand or start weaving fabrics by hand? No one could afford food or clothes in that case.
I wish they could have eliminated the two guys that touch the pancakes with thier hands. No Gloves, and one guy is wearing a ring, NASTY!!
or rob jobs from low-skilled workers. . .
It’s good that robots do these kinds of jobs. I’d kill myself if I’d work stacking pancakes for 30 years. These machines free people to more useful things.
All that did was make me really hungry!
Pretty well, actually.
quite possibly the most ridiculous choice of music possible, for a video like this.
absolutely hilarious!
And machines are more productive and cheaper: they’re faster, can work 24 hours without fatigue mistakes and save a ton of money on all the costs involved with human labor like salary, training, facilities, management, workers demanding higher pay, dealing with temp workers and theft.
ALL jobs, besides those that require creative/artistic skills, can be taken over by a machine. Doctors, Lawyers, teachers, you name it. . .
