The Rise Of Robots | CNBC Marathon

CNBC Marathon explores the rise of robots and how they are changing the economy.
A robot named Flippy runs the fry station at a White Castle outside of Chicago. White Castle said it plans to add 100 Flippy’s to its kitchens nationwide. Up to 82% of restaurant positions could, to some extent, be replaced by robots. Automation could save U.S. fast food restaurants over $12 billion in annual wages. And restaurants are also struggling to find workers. American restaurants are down more than 560,000 jobs or about 4.6% of its workforce from their pre-pandemic levels. So what impact will robots have on the fast food industry and the livelihood of its workers? CNBC got a behind the scenes look at restaurant robot maker Miso Robotics to find out.
SoftBank-funded Zume, formerly a robotic pizza start-up, is now making compostable packaging out of agricultural waste, creating a closed-loop system for customers. The $274.2 billion dollar sustainable packaging market is expected to grow to $413.8 billion by 2027, according to Grand View Research. Zume has re-commissioned its fleet of robots to compete in this growing industry. CNBC got a first look inside Zume’s packaging plant, and sat down with Zume Chairman and CEO Alex Garden to learn how compostable products could help solve the plastic waste problem.
Boston Dynamics has sparked the imaginations of the general public with its viral KZread videos, but the company is now hoping to get the attention of paying customers. Initially, Boston Dynamics received a lot of its funding from the U.S. military and DARPA. Later, it was financed by big-name owners including Google, SoftBank and most recently, Hyundai. All of these companies have tried to steer the robot maker on a path to commercialization, and Boston Dynamics is finally getting there. CNBC got a rare look at Boston Dynamics’ office in Massachusetts, where the team showed off two of the robots they are working to commercialize: Spot and Stretch.

    When i was younger and lived in NY there was no way you could even pay me to drive into the city. I visited a few years back and i rented a car bcs i was staying in NJ, My son was young and really wanted to see the city and visit FAO. Decided to drive, the toll was eye watering to say the least. Not to mention that DT traffic. The Public transportation system was a godsend to me. It gave me so much autonomy as a young adult. It allowed me to get jobs that I wld never have gotten in the bronx. When I became of working age I didn’t have to take out a predatory car loan in order to participate in my state’s economy. The state where we live now simply DOES NOT offer anything comparable. And I think it’s a shame.

    Exactly. They're complaining that they can't hire people. A USED 10 year old car is around 10k now. That's by their own admission, 1/2 of a years wage for a full time minimum wage worker. How can people afford to work these jobs? The companies have been avoiding taxes and we haven't been investing in our future. Also... they're like "it's cheaper".... yeah, sure it is. Notice how they say it's "software as a service" that they're offering. Betting it's not going to be cheap for long. They can change their prices at any time. Once they've got market share, the robots will be MORE expensive.

    To all the people hating on automation: are you going to go out and force people who don't want these jobs to work them? If the positions aren't being filled then they become automated. Yes, on the one hand it is a cost-effective solution, but there's also the argument that people simply don't want to do these kinds of jobs anymore. A century ago, society praised the rise of automation as they predicted it would allow people to work 4 days a week for a living instead of 5 days. Not everyone wants to be a workaholic.

    Restaurant jobs are hard to fill because they don't pay a "living wage". It is that simple. Waitstaff don't even fall under minimum wage law because of tips. The hourly rate is $2.18/hr. Anyone who says that automation is not intended to replace human workers is lying to you. Just ask all those welders at the auto plants about all the robots they maintain in their "re-trained" jobs now... :-P

    @ 4:50 time marker in the video. On the left side, it mentions that the average restaurant worker in the U.S. was paid $12.07 per hour in 2022, with a reference to 11.7 million restaurant workers. On the right side, it shows the cost associated with a robot in the kitchen: $3,500 a month with a $10,000 installation fee. Let's break down these numbers for a single restaurant: Human Worker: Hourly rate: $12.07 Assuming a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week, the weekly cost is $12.07 x 40 = $482.80. Monthly, assuming 4 weeks, this would be $482.80 x 4 = $1,931.20. Annually, the cost is $1,931.20 x 12 = $23,174.40. Robot: Monthly cost: $3,500 Installation fee: $10,000 (one-time cost) Annually, excluding the installation fee, the cost is $3,500 x 12 = $42,000. Including the installation fee in the first year, the total is $42,000 + $10,000 = $52,000. Now, to compare the two, let's consider a few things: The robot's installation fee is a one-time cost, while the human worker's salary is ongoing. Over time, the cost of the robot may amortize and become more economical if it's durable and requires minimal maintenance. The human worker's cost could increase with raises, benefits, and other employment costs. Robots can work continuously without breaks, holidays, or sick days, which could increase productivity. The quality of work, customer satisfaction, and the type of tasks performed may differ greatly between human workers and robots. This is a qualitative aspect that may influence the decision beyond mere cost-effectiveness. With the information given, if a restaurant's primary concern is cost and if the robot can perform the required tasks with minimal downtime, then over a longer period, the robot may be more cost-effective. However, this does not account for other factors that influence such a decision, including the impact on customer experience, the quality of work, and potential maintenance costs for the robot.

    This is all great until you start thinking about how copyrights, patents, and trade agreements start to affect the availability of the machines and parts for them. Let's also think about the subscriptions that the creators are charging for allowing a business to keep and provide maintenance for them. Eventually, a company is going to use their monopoly to their advantage to charge outrageous prices to subscribe to their product. We also have to think about how this will affect the repairability of such products with respect to the principles of Right To Repair.

    Yeah this problem only arise if you really narrow your sight setting a limitation on the subject of robot replacing jobs, that causes lesser jobs for serving food. But if you widen your view, more robots being used actually creates more jobs, just not serving food but maintenance agents to make sure these robots deliver its performances accordingly.

    Flippy 2 can actually be cheaper.. since it doesn't need tips, doesnt need insurance or benefits, or wage increase. If you do 12.5$ per hour at 40 hours a week multiplied by 4 week by 12 months = 2500$... just 1000$ difference but you save on taxes,benefits,calling sick,tips etc.
