This robot is self-aware. It was saving those two pancakes for itself.

Finally a solution to all my pancake stacking problems!

The mathematics behind the movements of the joints of these robots is very interesting. Includes circle-circle intersection checking and even finding the exact intersection point of 3 spheres (radius being the length of the longer shafts) if you're doing it backward-kinematics-way.

At least we can be assured that when the robots take over they will be capable of preparing their own food and cleaning up after themselves. Sounds like an improvement over the current system.

Damn, this is really a magic pancake stacking machine

i love them both, waffle and pancake! :)

All will bow to the flexpicker!

Love the machine vision used to stack breakfast foods instead of hunting people!

It moves PANCAKES. Awesome.

VreyOneida I came here after searching that.

All that tech, all that science, and you're stacking pancakes xD

neat delta parallel

The Universal Pancake Acceleration Constant!

That's some serious inverse kinematics.

I can't tell what's cooler, Flexpicker or the background music.

espectacular!

@RGLumaAutomation That is basically correct. The Quattro is generally faster and has a higher payload (6KG).

Yay... a robot stacking pancakes.

War of the worlds, pancake style.

i wonder what would happen if you glued the pancake to the conveyor belt?

The description says it can stack up to 450/min. Are there any sections in the video where the machine is running at that speed, or is this dependent on slew needed to reach pancakes further from the center belt?

TBH the best cappuccino I ever had was prepared by a robot

Man you guys know about your pancake stacking!

Now all i want is some flapjacks

I can see this machine as a subplot in a terminator movie, as a lighly humorous character, who is perfectly sane except when in the prescence of pancakes, which saved the protagonists from being killed by it - diversonary pancakes!

NICE

@Fremder71 The limiting factor to the speed is not the robot but the speed with which you can move the pancakes without them falling apart.

@ignacioaguirrenoguez6218

Not speed , but rather acceleration

@Turnsleftlooksright They wouldn't be able to do 450 pancakes per second. And they would be less consistent, which could lead to broken pancakes. Which slows things down, reduces quality, requires better quality control... and ultimately costs more money. This robot never needs a break, never forgets to wash its hands, never gets tired, and can work 24/7.

I wonder what happened to the pancakes that the robots didn't get a chance to pick up...

There must be a more efficient way to make pancakes than laying them randomly on a table and having a very sophisticated robot sucking and moving them.

BMANZZS 24h/day, $7/h : $168 a day, $61,320 a year, $306,600 five years. (Reference). Not counting any possible benefits. Not counting paid vacation. Not counting possibility of worker filing a lawsuit if they injure themselves and want money. Not counting inefficiency, since no worker will do a perfect job during their hours. Robot: One-time cost, likely less than one million. (The programming isn't complex enough to be valued high, and I doubt the parts are either). Not counting electricity. Pays itself off after less than 20 years, maximum. If you're younger and expect the factory to stay in business, it's completely worth it. And, even if you aren't expecting the factory to stay up for that long, you can sell it. And earn back a large amount of the money spent on it. Buy robot > Save money from worker's paycheck for a decade > Sell robot for most of the money back > Save money and have a higher net profit when you retire. So, yes, if the technophobe was in power we'd still be riding carriages. Unless there was some major mistake I made here. -Programmer (Though not roboticist).

***** A robot for a $1 000 000... That's something I'd very much like to see and even more so to talk to the dumbass who actually paid so much for just the robot...The price for industrial robots vary between something like $10 000 to $80-90 000. Usually the additional peripherals that you attach to it are more expensive than the robot itself. Don't forget that parallel robots in the form such as this one here are meant to lift only 1-2 kg and are meant for sorting pills, pancakes, small components etc. They are build for speed. The robot here in the video is definitely not worth even 1/6 of the $1 000 000 you have mentioned including the box that wraps its workspace. I have no experience with parallel robots but have a couple of years with the good old 6DOF industrial robots (those that you use for wielding, lifting heavy components, cutting etc. mostly in the automobile industry) the smallest of which was weighing approx. 60 kg (without the computer) and the largest - approx. 1.2 T. Finally I'd like to add that a robot is much, much better for simple task than a human. Up to a specific point when it comes to large production quantities it is simply not economic to use people to do the work. More so I'd feel like shit if my job is sorting fuckin pancakes all day long... -_- Robots are required since people hump like bunnies thus the growth of the population on Earth. If you go to the way people were producing most of the things 200 years ago, there will be a shitload more starving people around the world than there currently are (I'll not elaborate further the fact that starvation nowadays is mostly due to incredibly bad distribution of wealth and resources around the world since this is a different topic).

So that is what industrial grade marketing looks like

no just an algoritm, that robot acctualy does the job alone

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Please, tell me what is this song?

I find KUKA could do it also good as ABB. ABB (Schwitzerland) - neutral doesen't always meen good, sometimes it means ignorant.

this music slaps

the gripper is NCT from rexroth

wow.

Good point, the robot probably doesn't do that.

Someones got to sell all those pancakes ;)

Skilled Mexican...

How did i get here?

damn this music goes hard

@2low2rl As a true technocrat i must say that i first smiled when you typed that since its the part of the true future on the cost of having massive amount of unemplyed people in the world FORCING them back to school to learn the true ways of living.. using their brains instead of muscles since its gonna be replaced with heavy shit like this to do ur work.. Muscles is yesterday..

yaaa flexpicker! WATTA GUY

sounds like the black sheep movie

I don't know why, but those always creep me out

@Turnsleftlooksright But this is allmost free per day

GLaDOS lied about the cake... but she did make me pancakes :)

my vater works at abb and he was 1 of 9 Inventar of the Roboter

what the hell makes pancakes that fast?

I came to here with the search term artificial neuronal networks ... but I guess this programming is not neuronal - right? or could it be- even it is not?

Плюшкиии!

may I say, its better to surf the 4th industrial robotics revolution than have it wipe out your job may the nimble engineer retrain in time to catch the wave of the looming robotics revolution.

The word is full of people who would be unable to learn to work with this technology. You still need muscle, someone has to install the machinery. If we reach a point in time where nearly all physical labor is replaced by robots then the world will have to rethink its concept of wealth, value and economy. Because by then I am sure we can even replace most "thinking" jobs by computers as well. What do humans do when there is no work to be done, live in peace and harmony? Who knows.

Improved workplace safety? You mean the workerthat would injured himself stacking pancakes no longer has a job… that is one way to see it.

Wolkswagen, Audi use KUKA. Quality is always top!

Good thing I don't stack tiny pancakes for a living.

pancakes are fucking gay! i love you Waffle Bot

´Tis easy really.. Two people work.. Two people gets replaced by a "thing". Two people is unemployed, but, getting served by the "thing", that does the previous work "they" did. Someone needs to maintain the "thing" by keeping it shiny...(Muscle workforce..) The other one developes "thing 2.0" that shines itself (Brainwork).. first dude got unemployed for being stupid, the second one is still working on 3.0..
