    How do we know there isn’t some dude in there making your burger? That’s what I would do, make a machine and toss some dude in there so morons would think they were getting something futuristic.

    Don’t they have something like that oversees

    Wow, so $7 for what looks barely passable as food. The toppings aren’t even on it. Lol. Congrats!

    I rather eat healthy Food but I love Robots
    We are coming to a Future where no one has to work anymore
    Then finally we can concentrate on Knowledge

    They don’t wanna show you the inside because they don’t want you to see all the males turds. You mice do get in it and they are incognent

    That’s a nasty looking burger.

    They have these vending machines in Japan long time ago! Not just burger, they have sushi too.

    Welp, food service workers, there goes your $15 per hour or liveable wage.

    Doesn’t look bad at all. It would be great for places like rest areas or for if you wanted food and everywhere else is closed.

    This is really cool. I’d like to try it. They need to reduce the amount of ketchup and mustard. But otherwise awesome idea.

  24. TRIP WILMOT

    This is the first sign of Transhumanism agenda at work,Get people to like the Robots! I would rather make a hamburger from scratch it would taste better and less metal. The war against machines is on!

  27. Whitney B

    March 26, 2022 at 3:42 pm

    I’ve already seen this on TikTok. I’m sure people will go just for the videos. It would be cool if it was outside where it could be used 24 hours a day.

  28. Kevin Kent

    March 26, 2022 at 4:01 pm

    A $7 burger that takes 7 minutes to make? Give me a break. This is purely a novelty. The economics of this make no sense for the customer.

  29. James Jones

    March 26, 2022 at 4:29 pm

    Nope! Now, if they can make the burger look less burnt and put grilled onion with the melted cheese on a burger then maybe you have my attention, until then it’s a no. Also, a pick of those flat buns.

  30. Terd Ferguson

    March 26, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    How do you not know how to eat a burger?

  31. Raymond Luke

    March 26, 2022 at 4:55 pm

    OMG!! Obesity at its finest! Welcome to America, where you can order fast food/junk food from a machine. Enjoy until your heart gives in. I’m surprised you can’t order fries with that “burger.” 🤦‍♂️

    I’m not trying to be negative but the authentic way of cooking meaning a human will always be number one

    March 26, 2022 at 5:49 pm

    The future is now. I really hope this idea takes off all over the place so that nobody else has to waste their precious, limited time on this earth working as a burger flipper. Those positions can be taken over by the robots and human beings can be free to do other things.

  36. Stuck in Paradise

    March 26, 2022 at 9:01 pm

    They should put the pizza vending machine next to it

  37. Space Monkey

    March 26, 2022 at 9:24 pm

    This is what you get for demanding 15 dollars an hour, replacement by a robot. If you don’t think this is going to spread and thousands of people won’t be put out of a job then man do I have a bridge in Manhattan to sell you haha.

  38. rickyay26

    March 26, 2022 at 9:25 pm

    Lol this is the future. I hope the ppl who work in the fast food industry can find work when they inevitably get let go

    There were things like that in Japan actually from a long long time ago BRUH and people so surprised at this XD

    Ooh I’d one want that makes pizzas 🤔

  44. Juan Cabrera

    March 26, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    Yes but how will the robots spit/sneeze on your food?

  45. P LM

    March 26, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    But you still need a human to load the machine. We will never get to a humanless business because then we are talking about Skynet at that point.

    Any burger that’s isn’t McDonald’s is probably better than McDonald’s.

  48. KaraKeero

    March 26, 2022 at 11:12 pm

    No lettuce no tomatoes no pickles.. too expensive. These guys don’t seem to know their target audience.

    It will do good if they rethink pricing.

  49. Barg Slarg

    Neat proof of concept

  50. DalanarTV

    In no way does that look wroth it

  51. Arte Floe

    March 27, 2022 at 6:50 am

    What if there was a human inside forced to stay there 24/7 to do burgers and make robotic noises? Maybe that’s why they don’t want you to see inside the machine.

  52. Naglis

    March 27, 2022 at 7:28 am

    Good concept but not impressed, if robots make it i want it picture perfect every time so for now no thanks

    the main thing is we free up people and we gonna do something else in life as years pass by

    Vegans are going to have a field day messing with these machines.

  55. Damian La Roche

    March 27, 2022 at 10:57 am

    7.50 they smoking sum rocks. I can get a inn and out double cheeseburger and a soda and fries for 8 bucks. this only works if they move teh price point to 4-5 bucks

    Weird how “Chain of custody” is so very important in everything except the ballots for Democrat voting.

  58. Clint Stathis

    March 27, 2022 at 2:33 pm

    shouldn’t cutting out the labor make it cheaper? 7 bucks for a gas station burger is stupid.

  59. Todd Bellows

    March 27, 2022 at 2:45 pm

    $7.00? nope

  60. Jim McClane

    March 27, 2022 at 3:56 pm

    That must be a maintenance nightmare inside. Burger grease gets into literally everything.

    March 27, 2022 at 4:16 pm

    @6:20 Saying CV19 is the best thing to happen to you is not a smart thing to say from a marketing standpoint, given all of the death and chaos it brought to people’s lives around the world.

  62. damandbass

    March 27, 2022 at 4:24 pm

    You grab the handle to access the hamburger carton. Then you eat the burger without sanitizing your hands after 100 other people recently touched the same handle. No sink around, no sanitizer dispenser. Even if it had Microban on that handle, I think you need a redesign. Get rid of the handled door.

    The most disgusting looking burger

  66. Dave L

    March 27, 2022 at 7:42 pm

    I would suggest an intense UV -C light bath after each burger.

  67. Biff Wellington

    March 27, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    Looks nasty.

  68. Tyrion Lannister

    March 27, 2022 at 9:59 pm

    So there’s hope for us Yanks, too. After years of watching YouTubers living in Japan demonstrate the high quality food one can get from the vending machines over there, this is the first example of something akin to that Stateside. We still have a long way to go to catch up with Japan, but at least we can listen to the Best of Hootie & the Blowfish while we wait. 🤪

    Interesting machine since people no longer want to flip burgers for a ridiculous wage.

  70. J V

    March 27, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    The burger is burnt, has too much ketchup and the cheese looks so gross. Cool engineering feat though

  71. Justin Walters

    March 28, 2022 at 12:07 am

    Yay. Yet another bullshi*machine taking jobs away from actual people. Garbage.

      Yep, while corporations get richer.

  72. Jay Talbert

    March 28, 2022 at 12:30 am

    For $7? More like $5. No doubt price will quickly go up. Maintenance costs and sanitation problems are its Achilles heal. Bad placement choice. Greedy Idiots. Not me. its going to fail.

  73. Mike Genson

    March 28, 2022 at 12:45 am

    and all the sheep that lined up for their clot shot will line up to get what they think is a burger from this dumb machine as well

  74. bcgold

    Two thumbs up for Bridget, thumbs down for the RoboBurger.

  75. Alex Bones

    March 28, 2022 at 1:26 am

    Please, that burger looks burnt, the toppings are not spread nicely. Oh and there is no way it taste like a back yard bbq, why lie?

  76. Daniel

    March 28, 2022 at 2:44 am

    Can’t wait to see these at McDonald’s

  77. Eric A.

    The end of the fast food worker

  78. Mel Richardson

    Need crispy fries ,onion rings , pop.machine always best quality of coarse.

  79. Franky Shh

    March 28, 2022 at 7:54 am

    the reason not to use it is around 35 million fellow americans loose their jobs at cashier, kitchen and serving – no robotic to me, i dont even self checkout

  80. Ahndeux

    March 28, 2022 at 8:00 am

    Do you know many disgusting hands has touched that screen and lifted that plastic lid to get the burger? She picks it up and puts it right in her mouth. Either way, I’m not paying $7.99 for a freaking burger. Then again, with the Bidenflation, it may be a $10 burger by next year.

  81. Shawn Lewis

    You have GOT to be kidding me….can’t believe the garbage weak minded people are willing to shove down their pie hole……

  82. Fisher Man

    March 28, 2022 at 12:06 pm

    By looking at Bridget I’d say she doesn’t usually eat junk food.

    I remember getting a cheeseburger from a vending machine in Okinawa almost twenty years ago.

  85. Susanna Austin

    You would think they could have got the cheese on the burger…

    Needs to be more transparent

    Who had “Fast Food Made by Terminators” for April!!!????!!!

    Skynet has realized they don’t need nuclear weapons to wipe us out. All they need are ways to make us high-cholesterol food and kill us through heart attacks!!!! The machines have learned!!!
