El 5 de marzo, Miso Robotics, la empresa líder en soluciones de robótica e inteligencia artificial, anunció el debut público de "Flippy", promocionado como el primer asistente de cocina robótico autónomo del mundo. Flippy comenzó a trabajar junto con el personal de cocina en la ubicación de CaliBurger en Pasadena, California, durante la hora del almuerzo, volteando las hamburguesas y sacándolas de la parrilla cuando se cocinan a pedido.
Lleva solo dos días en el trabajo, Flippy ya está en un descanso. Sin embargo, no fue culpa de Flippy. Tus compañeros de trabajo pueden hacerte o deshacerte, y el robot aprendió esto de la manera más difícil. Aparentemente, los colegas humanos del robot no pudieron seguirle el ritmo. No pudieron preparar las hamburguesas tan rápido como Flippy pudo asar las hamburguesas, informó USA Today.
Miso Robotics desarrolló Miso AI, una plataforma de aprendizaje conectada a la nube que impulsa brazos robóticos industriales, con el objetivo de aumentar las operaciones de cocinas comerciales con tecnología avanzada.
El sitio web de la empresa describe Miso AI de la siguiente manera:
Miso AI combina la visión 3D, térmica y regular para detectar automáticamente cuándo se colocan las hamburguesas crudas en la parrilla y monitorea cada una en tiempo real durante todo el proceso de cocción. Mientras se cocinan las empanadas, Miso AI muestra el tiempo de cocción en una pantalla que también alerta al personal de cocina cuándo colocar queso encima o cuándo aderezar una hamburguesa. También permite que Flippy cambie de usar una espátula para carne cruda y otra para carne cocida. Además, Flippy tiene la capacidad de limpiar espátulas mientras se cocina y de limpiar la superficie de la parrilla con un raspador.
Flippy no tenía la intención de reemplazar a las personas, sino de servir como "manos extra" en la parrilla.
CaliBurger se preparó para el debut de Flippy con un área de cocina especial designada como el dominio de la cocina del robot, que incluía un letrero que decía "Flippy's Corner". Pero la presentación de Flippy no fue tan fácil como se había planeado, ya que no había suficientes personas trabajando detrás del mostrador para aderezar las hamburguesas terminadas al ritmo que Flippy podría hacerlas, dijo un representante de CaliBurger a USA Today.
Miso Robotics anunció en 2017 que los fabricantes de hamburguesas autónomos como Flippy se instalarían en más de 50 ubicaciones de CaliBurger en todo el mundo para fines de 2019. Pero, por ahora, la única ubicación dispuesta a arriesgarse con un robot fry cook ha puesto temporalmente en un descanso.
On March 5, Miso Robotics, the leading robotics and artificial intelligence solutions company, announced the public debut of ‘Flippy,’ touted as the world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant. Flippy began working alongside kitchen staff at CaliBurger’s Pasadena, California location during lunchtime by flipping burger patties and removing them from the grill when cooked to order.
Been on the job for just two days, Flippy is already on a break. However, it wasn’t Flippy’s fault. Your co-workers can make or break you, and the robot learned this the hard way. Apparently, the robot’s human colleagues couldn’t keep up with it. They weren’t able to assemble the burgers as quickly as Flippy could grill the patties, USA Today reported.
Miso Robotics developed Miso AI – a cloud-connected learning platform that powers industrial robotic arms – with the aim to augment commercial kitchen operations with advanced technology.
The company’s website describes Miso AI as follows:
Miso AI combines 3D, thermal and regular vision to automatically detect when raw burger patties are placed on the grill and monitors each one in real-time throughout the cooking process. As the patties cook, Miso AI displays the cooking time on a screen that also alerts kitchen staff when to place cheese on top or when to dress a burger. It also enables Flippy to switch from using a spatula for raw meat and one for cooked meat. In addition, Flippy has the ability to clean spatulas while cooking and to wipe the surface of the grill with a scraper.
Flippy wasn’t intended to replace people but rather to serve as “extra hands” at the grill.
CaliBurger prepared for Flippy’s debut with a special cooking area designated as the robot’s kitchen domain, including a sign that read “Flippy’s Corner.” But Flippy’s introduction did not go as smoothly as planned, as there were not enough people working behind the counter to dress the finished burgers at the pace Flippy could make them, a CaliBurger representative told USA Today.
Miso Robotics announced in 2017 that autonomous burger-makers like Flippy would be installed in more than 50 CaliBurger locations around the world by the end of 2019. But for now, the one location willing to take a chance on a robot fry cook has temporarily put it on a break.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
