As you might expect, putting a robot into the busy back of house of a fast food restaurant isn’t as easy as just setting it in front of the grill and plugging it in. That’s because restaurants are a complex mix of workflows, equipment and, yes, people, so automating a busy kitchen with robotics requires lots of planning.
