Robotics company Momentum Machines set to take over

Robots that slice, grill, assemble and bag 400 burgers in one hour could soon take over restaurants everywhere. Momentum Machines first unveiled its autonomous grill master, which can do the work of three human burger flippers, in 2012. Now the robotics company has secured $18 million (£14 million) in venture funding, reigniting old fears that the machines could soon replace human workers in fast-food restaurants. In 2012, Momentum Machines debuted its fully autonomous burger-making robot. Customers will be able to customize their meat with their own specifications, such as asking for their preferred ratio of pork to bison.
