Jack in the Box will experiment with burger-flipping robots

Add Jack in the Box to the list of fast food chains experimenting with robots. The company is launching a pilot program that will test Miso Robotics' Flippy 2 (frying) and Sippy (drink-prepping) robots in a San Diego restaurant. Jack in the Box wants to see how much help the automatons can offer to busy staff who may want to spend more time with customers and less time in the kitchen. The companies didn't say how long the pilot might last. Jack in the Box said it was open to "further integration" in coming months, however.
