San Francisco's robotic company is coming up with a machine that can cook burgers over a hot griddle and chop tomatoes with more efficiency than humans leading to the world's first robot chef called "Creator."

According to report, it's not really a chef, but actually a series of computers and sensors that shuffle a burger through shoots and traps until it emerges on the other end, moving down a conveyor belt. In some way it come out fully formed, before it lands in the hands of the customer.

The brainchild of the culinary robotics company founder Alex Vardakostas came up with the idea and by the end of June, he is beginning a location in San Francisco that can construct burger with merely 20 computers, 350 sensors and 50 actuator mechanisms, according to report. After the opening in San Francisco he aims to bring his robot burgers to cities across the world.

With no assist of human hands, all the slicing and the toasting of the brioche buns will be done by the machine, including adding the toppings after cooking the patties. Once fully accumulated will roll off of a conveyor belt stacked with tomatoes and lettuce within time period of five minutes and later delivering by human hands to the customer.

"When I started this process eight years ago, there wasn't the inevitability that this would happen with food. Now not only is it inevitable, but it also produces a much higher quality product," Vardakostas told a media source.

According to report, in his quest to build a burger-making machine, he gathered a team of engineers, designers and robotics specialists from places like Apple, Tesla and even NASA. It's a dream that he has been working on for nine years and now it is finally in motion.

Vardakostas came from a fast food background knowledge. His family owns a California-based A’s Burgers. "When you make 400 of the same burger every day, you can’t help but think, ‘How would I make this experience better?'"

The creator has thought to roll out other locations, most probably in communities that are not as affluent as San Francisco, where there might be more of a market for affordable burgers since the ones they sell are just $6.

Venues like airport terminals, train stations, and universities might also see their burgers being made by robots. "The machine gives us the architecture freedom to make this kind of experience all over," Vardakostas told media source.
