The bun holder seems underdesigned? There could've been some self-centering funnel thingy or a clamp that keeps the bun in place, instead of relying on this fancy scanning action and the friction lottery

Yeah. On the other hand... this does not look like "fast food machine". But demo machine, that is showing all the functionality the company can produce for their robots. Serving hotdogs is just secondary function used for these demo purposes. So the scanning action is not there, because it is best solution. The scanning action is there, to showcase the company can do scanning action. In the end, this is not supposed to be fast or usefull. It is just there to show the tech on something interesting to the observer.

My previous company had something similar in the demo room. If the visitor placed the bussiness card, it took it, and server you a candy. Was it usefull? No. Did it work in most effective way? No. Did it used lots of our portfolio tech? Yes. Were visitor interested to check it? Yes. And that was the whole point. This machine seems to have similar purpose.

I think the machine ran out of condiment and without the condiment providing lubrication the follow up steps fail.

Under normal operation its probably more reliable, but either the fill level sensor failed or the machine didn't get topped off at the start of the shift as required.

The design flaw is probably that it doesn't detect running out of condiment and a flimsy maintenance procedure, that requires the machine to be primed by the operator on schedule for error free operation.

It is not fast, and barely considered food.

People are always like "fast food workers will be replaced" and the machine is like $10 billion dollars and doesn't work

I've been to this exact spot a few times and had a few hot dogs done by the machine. It usually works fine. It's in a Żabka store in the shopping center Stary Browar in Poznań, Poland.

If someone wanted to know where this is. This hotdog robot is in a żabka nano store in Poland šŸ‡µšŸ‡±

It’s from a Polish store ā€žÅ»abka Nanoā€ which is fully automated shop with no worker inside, and a famous hot dog machine because this store is known for its hot dogs
