Narrator incorrectly uses the word "comprise".

@MrSmartypants - Comprise - meaning to have members. The system is comprised of 4 FlexPickers.

This is an awesome video, can you make a ABB Robot to get me out of bed when I'm called in to work early?

[ABBRobotics]

@InfectedBeats No problem. Quick link to the phone signal & we get the robot to throw stuff at you until you HAVE to get up. Simple :-)

This vid is so well produced.

[ABBRobotics]

Glad you like it.

WTF? "Stringent hygienic standards" and then they show people handling the pancakes WITHOUT GLOVES??

[ccplusc]

Final solution to the pancake problem? Nazi pancakes, get rid of all the workers.

Pancreatic enzyme supplements are recommended when treating cancer with vitamin B17, as well as avoiding red meat, tomatoes and sugar. Cancer is of little concern to the Vietnamese who smoke unfiltered cigarettes and eat cyanide-rich bamboo and millet daily. Additionally, cancer afflicted a mere 3% of Americans in the 1900's as folks back then ate fresh greens daily without regard to their pancreatic health.

@InfectedBeats It will be no need. The ABB robot wi;ll just take your job and you can sleep it off.

[MaciejDlugosz]

This could be even faster. Reduce also other guys, make everything automatic - keep only robo's! After all - we as humans - are too slow. Yeah!

@RadioactiveLegos No, it would be "and is comprised of four FlexPicker robots". Comprises would mean the subject is what makes up those four robots, when actually it's the other way around.

[RadioactiveLegos]

@MrSmartypants is actually correct. The proper usage of the word would be to say "and comprises four FlexPicker robots." Awesome video nonetheless.

Ironically, the more you pay for food the more someone has been fondling it with their bare hands; stacking the plate, wiping it with towels to make it LOOK clean...

I worked in a factory for a couple of days one summer doing this kind of packing by hand in a massive warehouse. 12h stood on my feet, in the same spot, moving my arm in the same cycle... it's nasty. I'd come home and be able to hear the noise from the factory in the bath and going to sleep, from it being so repetitive.
