    Flippy, a burger-grilling robot, is now manning grill at a California fast food restaurant, using thermal imaging and 3D optics to sense when to flip and remove hamburger patties.

    agree with you there. too many "auto" jobs taking away jobs from students or those starting out in the work force. Mind you, I appreciate being able to bank online instead of spending too much time in a line waiting for a teller.

    The robot isn't going to demand a raise or organize a union to fight the evil tyrannical employer either.

    We have to embrace new technology like this, it’s the only way we can grow as a society. That robot is just what we need in the age of social distancing. I’m sure police officers would rather have a robot make their burger than some kid who hates the cops.
