AI and robot technology are being introduced to pizza making
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms such as automatic generation of images and sentences, face recognition from images and videos, etc. are evolving rapidly. AI technology has begun to be applied to pizza making, and robots that make pizza faster and cheaper than humans have been developed. News media Axios explains about AI and robots applied to such pizza making.

Stellar Pizza , founded by a former rocket scientist at space company SpaceX, is developing a truck equipped with a pizza robot.
You can see what the Stellar Pizza robot looks like by watching the following movie.

In addition, American startup Picnic Works is planning a facility that will make up to 100 pizzas an hour under just one human check.
Clayton Wood, CEO of Picnic Works, said, 'Robots cook according to recipes, so they can make better quality pizza than humans.' Especially cheese used for pizza is the most expensive and most used cooking material, and when made by humans, the amount of cheese per piece tends to fall apart or be wasted. However, since robots use cheese accurately, loss can be reduced.
PizzaHQ in New Jersey, USA is planning to develop a huge store with a robot that automatically cooks pizza. The actually developed PizzaHQ robot can be seen in the following movie.

Actually PizzaHQ leases a pizza production robot from Picnic Works and sells a pizza with a diameter of 16 inches (about 40 cm) for $ 9.99 (about 1475 yen). In addition, the live streaming of the process of making pizza, which is shown at the store, seems to be popular with customers who come to buy pizza.
However, introducing robots does not always lead to success. It seems that it is quite difficult to control all the series of pizza cooking, `` stretch the dough, put toppings and bake it in a pot '' with AI and do it with a robot, CEO Benson Tsai, co-founder of Stellar Pizza , ``I developed a pizza cooking robot with a team of 30 former SpaceX engineers, but it was very difficult to design.''

Also, since the robot recognizes the ingredients used for pizza, the size and shape are limited. Jason Udoriya, CEO of PizzaHQ, said, ``Pizza toppings must be cut into 3/8 inch (about 9.5 mm) granules or dice.However, broccoli is difficult to process and olives. 'Because of its high moisture content, it is difficult for machines to handle well.'
CEO Udriya said, 'Until people get used to pizza made by robots, it's one of the climaxes. Many people oppose that 'pizza made by robots can't be delicious.' However, in 20 years, all pizzas will be robots. It will be made by 'commented.
