How the World’s First Autonomous Pizza Robot Works

‘Pazzi’ means ‘crazy’ in Italian – the perfect name for the world’s first autonomous pizza robot. It does everything on its own, and can make several pizzas at once. Is it a threat to the traditional pizzaioli?

There will be a time when we see historic photos of humans that use to do the pizza making and burger flipping.

Seriously, not only pizza's, but also Subway, MacDonald en such sorts of companies willl use this one Day.

As a software developer and cook, this is truly amazing! I loved the idea!

[LazarusSchell]

Yup.... this sort of technology has existed for years. I love seeing it now being used in other practical industries.

Now we can finally have a restaurant actually named Automachef

The robots are there more for the theatre than efficiency. If you wanted high performance, you'd build a special purpose machine to do this. I'm interested to see how they managed the distribution of toppings onto the base - it's a shame that bit isn't shown as it's by a very long margin the most difficult process step to automate.

there is room for both this and the traditional pizza restaurants to exist

Now if they could program it to whistle "Tarantella napoletana comandata", while it made the pizzas, it would be worth every Euro.

As someone who just started to work in a kitchen, I aam surprised how much automation evaded these mostly monotonous and messy tasks.
I think cutting the pizza on the delivery box is an obvious design flaw, as it weakens the bottom of the already progressively soaked pizza box.

[BrumCraft]

To people who say they will never eat this, have you ever rode in a car? If yes, why didn't you ride in a horse and wagon instead?

actually this automation is useful to serve food in hours where normal human workers need to sleep/ rest

[marcozolo]

I can foresee somewhere in the late 2020s or early 2030s there will be fast food chains using this in places where the demand is high and a 24/7 service is profitable incorporating a kind of drive thru element to all this.

It won't be uncommon to have a kind of service on demand Amazon type business model, whereby drones may even deliver pizzas made by machine and at a fraction of the cost. It will be disruptive as most technologies are at first.

[technics]

Can't cut ingredients? I guess thats by design, because that should be technologically possible with reasonable cost.

[yamchayaku]

Millions of Euros to develop this, holy crap. How long will it take before the owner starts seeing profits?

[BeyondAverageSkilled]

now there will be no booger and spit in my pizza.

[timothyt.]

The best application for these robots would be for large catering venues and parties, maybe even something like a Chuck E. Cheese style restaurant where would can watch the robot work. I can already see a business plan forming in my noggin...

[khalidalali]

I just adore how humans never think long term value/consequences, and only focus on short term gains instead. No wonder dire problems arise every single time, as has been the case throughout history, across various epochs and different civilizations.

[andyjacques]

it is time that we realise that most of the workers can be replaced

[fleabagmr.]

Coming to California soon with minimum wage going to $20 in April 😂.

[RaffaeleCastagno]

maybe the first with fancy robot arms, but hardly the first automatic pizza-making machine.
