  Breakthrough New Robotic Technology to Make & Buy a Hot Burger                                                  Source:  RoboBurger Robo Burger Chef in a Box Newark, NJ based robotic startup RoboBurger has invented the world's first robo burger chef in a hot vending machine.  The RoboBurger, robotic "burger maker in a box" is the innovative invention of Carnegie Mellon robotic engineering grad Audley Wilson.  The inventor and now CEO has established a dynamic new, minority owned business with two fellow robotic engineers.  The new technology is very impressive.  Inside the vending machine, the robot baker grills a top quality, frozen Angus burger, toasts a fresh bun, adds whatever cheeses or condiments have been ordered, puts it neatly into a burger box and then dispenses it to the buyer.  RoboBurger is an artificially intelligent, self-operating and patented kitchen.  It is designed to perform all the functions of a restaurant at a fraction of the size.  The burger

  Very Smart, AI Enabled, Companion Robot Cat for the Home                                        Source:  Elephant Robotics MarsCat is Fully Autonomous & Just Like a Cat The world's first bionic, AI enabled cat - MarsCat - has been developed by Shenzhen, China based Elephant Robotics.  The MarsCat has been specifically designed to bring joy, companionship and fun interaction particularly for kids and seniors.  MarsCat's functionality includes walking, sitting, stretching and meowing.  It is fully autonomous, fully responsive and has cat-like emotional responses.  The company says that no instructions are needed to control its movements. Very advanced AI (artificial intelligence) enables the little robot to understand and respond to human commands and interactions.  MarsCat is now under mass production for global sales. MarsCat's Level of Understanding Elephant Robotics says the little robot hears your voice, can feel your touch, sees your face and can play with toys.

  Multiple New, Money-Making Roles For Robots Source:  Robotazia Art, Fun and Waitstaff In Milton Keynes, UK, there is a uniquely innovative Sci-fi, robot themed restaurant Robotazia .  40 robots, all made from recycled material, are in residence and at work.  The robots serve as talking waiters and waitresses.  There is even a robot in charge of hand sanitizers.  Many of the robots are unique works of art created by artisans using recycled car parts, vacuums and makeup containers. Some examples include Mike Dyson, totally made from recycled Dyson vacuums. Sparky the robot, made of recycled metal parts, who serves as the customer Meeter and Greeter.   Audibot, which is made from recycled Audi parts and children's toy cars and much more. Sci Fi Robotics Robotazia is an innovative showcase of the versatility, usefulness, fun, entertainment and money-making value of robots.  It is designed to thrill adults and children about the potentialities and fascinating uses of emerging robots.

Tech Specs The 110-pound robot looks like a board attached to 4 tires but the technology is breakthrough.  Each pneumatic tire has three motors. The tires are operated and controlled independently.  MobED has omnidirectional movemen

 World's 1st Robot Manicurist  - Clockwork Manicure                                                     Source:  Clockwork New Robotic Startup in San Francisco This is another example of robotic versatility and dexterity that is a world first.  A new startup Clockwork, based in San Francisco, has invented a nail painting robot that can perform the polish application in less than ten minutes.  It's the world's first manicure robot.  The robot uses 3D scanning to determine the exact shape and size of the person's nails.  It then paints the nails in a circular motion while the client sits still for the polish application. What Is the Market Potential? The market potential appears to be considerable for robot manicurists. Americans spent more than $9 billion at nail salons in 2020 and that was during the pandemic. Founder and CEO Renuba Apte says the robot is designed as a quick and convenient service.  She says it is complementary to nail salons as the robot does not cut,
