Aug 6 2009Burn It With Hot Water!: Ramen Cooking Robot
A Tokyo restaurant has programmed an industrial robot nicknamed Ramen-Bot to cook Ramen noodles for soon to be poisoned customers. Now I don't know about you, but I don't trust it. And as a matter of fact -- I only eat food processed in non-robotic factories. Because, damnit, I'm a humanitarian. Mmmm, people.
Thanks to Drew, Michael, cathatter and Chris, who would rather take their chances with employees not washing their hands.

@7 I totally agree... Would anybody be so kind of explaining in a written way what is it like the robotic stuff we are not allowed to watch due job restrictions? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

You know if there was a dinosaur mask on this thing, GW would be proposing to it.

I thought robots were design for difficult and precise tasks, not for boiling water and dumping shit in it ( 0:12) It splashes everywhere !! Wow ! We need cleaning robots too.

17. STOMPY - August 6, 2009 12:14 PM

At least these appear to be stationary.
Do not give robot feet!! Or the ability to climb stairs!
20. rrobertloblaugh - August 6, 2009 12:35 PM
OK step one complete.
Now step two: the robot that will powder my bottom and nurse me while I muscle through hour 43 of my WOW marathon.

Ramen means noodles, so you don't have to reiterate.

When the hell did cooking ramen get complicated enough to need a robot?

This is awesome news..... for the EATR robots that is. Now instead of a raw rotting corpse, they can have their RAW-MEN robot friends cook them up a hot batch of human soup.

Cooking ramen was for lazy humans......I can't believe their even taking the lazy jobs!!!

all these things need are about 2 trillion pygmy jerboas and a lightning strike to hit them while they're learning to grill sausages in the back yard.
