Robo Noodles at Olympics

 Been a long time follower of automated food preperation and delivery and its link to effective supply chains.   Here another recent example, looking for more detail.   Could it also ultimately effect, as is implied here, less and better food handling and thus pandemic spread?

"The intelligent meal preparation and meal service system here can not only improve the efficiency of meal supply, but also save manpower to the maximum extent and avoid excessive human interaction in the context of epidemic prevention and control," the state-run Xinhua News Agency said.

"The media restaurant will operate 24 hours a day during the competition, providing various dining options such as Chinese food, Western food, and fast food."

The dining tables are armed with plexiglass barriers to keep diners safe, but as they take a seat, instead of a waiter to greet them, they order their meals on their phones.

Behind the scenes, a robotic cook prepares and cooks hamburgers, a second robot boils rice and noodles, while another doubles as your friendly bartender, whipping up a cocktail in 90 seconds, with the China Global Television Network providing this video for a glimpse of what it’s like inside the facility.

And for coffee-lovers, there’s a dedicated robot who not only grinds, but also brews the coffee in less than four minutes, all the while without complaining. .......'
