cook. Scientists in San Francisco, the US have developed a robot that can automatically
produce 400 burgers in an hour, carrying out the work of three humans. Japanese
restaurants have used restaurant robots for simple tasks such as collecting or washing
dishes and cleaning the floor.
Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric, a company that develops robots. He
says robots can’t do everything a human can, but they can work without becoming tired.
