机器汉堡店来了，一分钟可做400个汉堡！.

　　Robots that slice, grill, assemble and bag 400 burgers in one hour are set to invade California.

　　一款可以自动加工汉堡的机器人,从切、烤、组合到包装好送到客人手上，一小时可以完成400个汉堡。

　　Momentum Machines unveiled its autonomous grill master in 2012 and recently announced it will be opening a robot-powered burger bar in San Francisco’s South of Market.

　　美国“动力机器”公司早在2012年就推出了能做汉堡的机器，近日又宣布其机器汉堡店即将登陆旧金山南部。

　　Although this machine can do the work of three humans, the startup is still hiring people to perform other tasks such as payroll and taking out the garbage.

　　尽管这台机器人可以顶三个人的工作，但在初期，仍然需要员工来帮忙处理客户订单或者清理垃圾等。

　　With the minimum wage increasing in parts of the US, the idea of hiring a staff of robots may be a way to combat costs.

　　美国部分地区的最低工资标准已开始上涨，那么用机器人替代员工将能降低成本。

　　Former McDonald’s USA CEO Ed Rensi has said it would be cheaper to hire robots to replace the company’s staff than to pay them the $15 minimum wage that many are demanding in protests across the country.

　　美国麦当劳前CEO Ed Rensi已表示，雇佣廉价的机器人代替需要支付15美元的员工要划算的多，目前全国范围内举行的抗议活动，要求将最低工资提高到15美元。

　　It’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inficient making $15 an hour bagging french fries,’ Rensi told Fox Business Tuesday.

　　他在接受《福布斯商业》的采访中说道：“购买价值35000美元的机器人要比付给效率低的员工15美元一个小时去炸薯条便宜得多。”

　　He added that the demand to raise wages is ’going to cause a job loss across this country like you’re not going to believe.’

　　他还表示，提高工资的要求“将会导致美国更多人失业，也许你还不相信。”

　　And Momentum Machines just might be the spark that ignites the rise of the machines in the US fast food industry.

　　动力机器公司将引领机器人在美国快餐行业大规模使用的新潮流。

　　News of the robot-run restaurant spread after a job posting on Craigslist surfaced last month, which gives the public a glimpse into how the startup’s futuristic eatery might operate once it is open to the public.

　　上月，自机器人汉堡店在Craigslist网站上发布招聘信息后，这个消息就传开了，一旦其真正开业，公众就有机会对这家公司的未来主义餐厅如何运作得以一瞥。
