The robot chef has learned how to cook French fries and 18 more dishes

Buck Jordan, founder and CEO of Miso Robotics, said in an interview with Engadget that the transition from food

full service to exclusively foodtakeout and delivery has left many restaurants "incurring losses and just trying to stay afloat." It is worth considering that when using delivery apps, such as UberEats, each order is reduced by more than 30%.

This is why the company announced on Tuesday thatmakes the latest version of Flippy commercially available worldwide. This smarter, more capable and immune to airborne infection robot was announced today.

To begin with, the company optimized itsChefUI software to "help kitchen workers with responsive communication and workflow." With this system, food service workers can not only see what orders are in the queue for cooking, but through the integration of Intel RealSense cameras, they can also monitor the internal temperature of food, preventing undercooked food from entering the kitchen, and even adjust the queue so that orders are prepared in the desired order and at the same time.

For example, Jordan notes that for cookingFrench fries only take about 3 minutes compared to 10 minutes for a hamburger. So instead of leaving the fries under the heat lamp for 7 minutes before the burger is done cooking, Flippy will know to only put the fries in the oil 3 minutes before the burger finishes cooking. 

Today Flippy can cook 19various dishes - from corn dogs to tandoori chicken. However, the manufacturer promises that the robot's skills will increase when it can begin to be trained, thanks to an advanced machine learning system developed by Miso. 

To help at least partially reduce the dangercoronavirus infection while working shoulder to shoulder with other chefs, Flippy can be equipped with a glass partition. It will help isolate the robot from the breathing of personnel during  cooking process time.

It's worth noting that Flippy has also received NSF security certification.
