Fried foods like French fries and onion rings are going high-tech thanks to a company in Southern California. Miso Robotics Inc. has released its Flippy 2 robot. The robot automates the process of deep-frying food like potatoes and onions. The robot uses a large robotic arm like those used in auto plants. It is directed by cameras and artificial intelligence. It takes frozen French fries and other foods out of a freezer, puts them into hot oil, and then places them ready-to-serve into a container. Flippy 2 can cook several meals with different cooking processes at the same time. Miso says this reduces the need for employees and speeds up the time for people to get their food at drive-through windows. Miso Chief Executive Mike Bell said that when an order comes in through the restaurant system, it automatically tells Flippy what to do. Bell added, “It does it faster or more accurately, more reliably and happier than most humans do it.” Miso said it took five years to develop Flippy. And it recently made the robot available for businesses to buy.
