Less human interaction is what's best for humanity. Just because someone wants to talk to someone doesn't mean they want to talk. I find it disrespectful to talk to a stranger when it's not welcomed.
@@guardianofthegalaxy2051 I'm not talking about the nozzles in the machine, I mean the spoons the lady is adding the last toppings in with. She dunks them in the soup several times.
I do understand the draw of the robot, but I think this is one of those cases where it's not any more efficient since a human has to finish up the process anyway and the robot took so much time. I would totally buy these single serve soup pucks for use at home though!
@@pkmnan00bis That's what I was thinking. They're testing the first automated phase in practical conditions. Then, if it works out they can go to testing the second phase being automated. If it works, no more human workers beyond maintenance. Or it could be just a novelty meant to draw in customers and drive up the price a bit and we're overanalyzing it. Time will tell. 🤔
Indeed. The robot is much slower at picking up three dots and adding water than a human would be. And then the human has to still do loads of hard slow stuff at the end.
You don't have to pay a human, The robot can work 24/7 without breaks, delays and or getting sick, It helps keep the cost's down by needing less staff on hand to mange a whole store.
Yeah, no idea what they gained there by using that robot. Just have a human drop in those cubes, they are anyway there having to add noddles and the toppings. It just increases time taken until the cup is done and having someone stir instead of steaming the cup saves a ton of energy too. I would have understood it if the whole thing was automatic but the way it is it's like redundant.
@@fireblossom8544 Considering that there are even instant soup places around that let you cook packages of bought instant noodles I don't see the problem if the soup is good? Give a bit more variety at the toppings and don't just rely on a gimmick that people won't come again for primarily? Furthermore they could have simply bought a second robot to drop the noodles out and have either an automatic dispenser dropping the toppings in or just let the people do it themselves. It's not like it needed to be the way it is in any way or shape.
@@Wolfsschamane That is the issue, you don't usually know that much of information beforehand, let alone whether you would be believing it or not by just judging from the mysterious soup paste. Setting up a fancy looking automatic robot in the 'cafe' is definitely much more efficient in catching attentions. There are enough shops which rely on new customers you know. Yes and that is the second part, if they are just putting a robot in, would you believe it is some sort of high taste cafe? No, and you need a 'chef' inside to make people pull out their bucks willingly
Sounds like a nice cold weather place to go to, since soup is great for cold weather, yes? Seeing Mrs. Bacons' happy pretty face at the end was wonderful as always, too!
Really interesting. They've got to sell an awful lot of noodles to justify that setup, but the cost must also be why they've only automated the first third of the cooking, and not the whole thing.
honestly that price is pretty good. and the soups look amazing would love that here in the states as i eat very little, so those cup noodles would be right up my ally.
I greatly enjoy watching that machine and seeing the end results. Do I wish I had some, YEP! Tell Mrs. Bacon it was a pleasure to see her and even tho I have no idea if it's the clothing she wears or what, but tell her she looks amazing. Keep making interesting food videos.
Love you DancingBacon been a long time viewer and I just wanted to i love love all your videos X they're always amazing, please keep up your amazing work 💜💜💜💜 0:21 0:21
DOT: Special heads to prevent cross contamination Me: omg that's so smart and satisfying, so much detail Stirring spoon: *Sits in same tub after being in every cup of soup* Me: devastated it's ruined
There's probably something there to prevent cross-contamination too. It doesn't make sense that they'd put in all that effort for step 1 and somehow forget it for step 2.
I feel like the arm machine can be entirely replaced with just a row of containers with each type of DOT inside that drops down into the cup as it passes by. Shouldn't be any cross contamination that way, and it eliminated the complicated process the arm has to go through with each individual grabber.
I thought we wasn't going to see Mrs/Miss Bacons reaction but then at the end we are treated to her lovely reaction to eating those lovely thick noodles 😊 she approves, now after this video I really want some thick noodles. Thank u for another great video xx
Here in the State cup of noodles don’t look that our don’t have the fresh vegetables and things and they are still expensive. I would gladly pay that amount for them to get the fresh ingredients and believe a lot of people would also.
You would think that, if each dot has to have it's own hand, it would be easier to drop the dots from a vending machine kind of system rather than have a robot arm.
Yum! Why don't we have these here in the U.S? I would love to visit and taste these soups. My Cup a Noodle doesn't seem as delicious as I always thought it was, after watching this video 🍜🥤
Because people would leave garbage around, not clean the machines, break it or downright vandalize it. It's the same reason we don't have vending machines other than random junk food and soft drinks in most cases. Because someone would take a hammer to it, smash and grab the stuff before leaving. Very different cultures when it comes to public assets. In this case, it's mostly because it costs a lot and is a novelty so naturally nobody would do it here because taking risks is scary lol.
The machine and coffee shop gimmick just made the noodles way more expensive than they had to be. In the end, it's still just cup noodles, so spending over 2 bucks for one is just unheard of
Just because they serve it in a cup, doesn't mean it's a cup noodle. Which cup noodles let you choose up to 3 different soup bases, fresh add-ins, and a range of different oils? The noodles looked like fresh noodles too.
As much as I want this, I don't think I can come here again for another cup. 2,430 yen (roughly around 16 dollars) is too expensive for a cup noodle. I will try it once then never come back.
I like the idea, especially since you can select the type of noodle you want. Just a bit on the slow side for making them, but hey, it's a robot arm!! The price is good, considering that it's a half-and-half production ( half machine, half Human). It looks like you have taken up residence in Japan permanently?
Thank you for sharing 🙏. Robots are incredible 🤖. Good to see both enjoying life and food 🍜. As usual, it is good to see Ms. Bacon's happy face, enjoying the food. Though it was good that there weren't pickled onions 😅😂
