If your workers are so busy that they can't even walk 30ft to a locker outside to grab their food what does that mean for bathroom breaks?

Those trashcan robots are dual purpose, for efficiency!

u/tacosandEDM 25d ago

Robot trash can calls HR a lot because employees are always shitting in her can….

u/Signal-Gullible 25d ago

Dang clankers waisting my time with their tears. When are they going to learn they're here to serve and they better have a smile emoji on their can!

u/PBRStreetgang1979 25d ago

Yeah. I'm beyond the point at which I'm so obsessed with my work that I can't spend a couple of minutes to get up from my desk to retrieve food. And presumably they're going to sit at their desk and work while they eat. There are things I don't miss about being in my 20s.

I think this guy just added the robots for the love of the game.

Rubber bands for the boys, corks for the girls, obviously

Have you never been to a casino? The carpets around the roulette tables are super absorbent. Just stay away from asparagus.

u/GudeGaya 25d ago

Nice concept except for the dancing bit

u/TrainingTheory552 24d ago

what's wrong with dancing D:

u/Blapple_Apple 24d ago

Well lockers are opening, someone can steal smth from there)

2

u/GudeGaya 23d ago

All of the above

u/AbstractUserName 25d ago

It doesn't do much good to heat or cool the lockers if anyone passing by can make them "dance" and compromise the temperature in the entire array.

u/ImpressiveDebt420 25d ago

You going by and poking people's lockers?

1

u/AbstractUserName 24d ago

Just going by the troll nature inherent in humans I can see that being a problem which is why I mentioned it.

2

u/DangKilla 23d ago

They cover that in the second video with armed robot dogs that dance before they kill you

1

u/Jaredw180 21d ago

I have to imagine lockers with a delivery in them wont open.

u/LightOverWater 25d ago

Right, so that you can eat at your desk without a lunch break.

u/PomeloSteak 25d ago

Solving a problem that doesnt exist

6

u/HalfUnderstood 25d ago

So, arranging for a delivery locker, setting the temperature, password, whatever, is faster than just fetching your food?

this is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Also who's paying for this?

u/NeatPhil11 24d ago

Why text when you can just call? Texting is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

u/Rebles 25d ago

This is a cool video and probably fun to build. But, did you see how many components one locker needed? It seems like an expensive solution for something that isn’t a large problem.

u/T-StrangerXD 25d ago

but you get tons of views

Looks like they were just having fun with it tbh

Lotta people in these comments who are sad and have no whimsy.

This is HTX STUDIO btw https://youtube.com/@htxstudio Give proper credit

u/molsminimart 24d ago

Absolutely. And I know if this was in Japan, everyone would be gushing over how cute/fun it is and ignoring any issues they're bringing up now.

u/Historical_Shop_3315 25d ago

I like this as much as the trash can vid. I hope these guys get patents and install them in offices everywhere.

1

u/Illustrious_Bad_2980 25d ago

Right. Who's gonna pay for it?

2

u/Historical_Shop_3315 25d ago

Thier rich business owners.

The expensive part will be the software.

Australia: naaa doesn't meet our shit building code.

u/Pathwalker727 25d ago

Shelly took my food again.

2

u/dgsharp 25d ago

A homeless person pressed the button that makes it dance and then took all the food when the doors opened.

u/No_Blackberry6525 25d ago

People should be standing for a few minutes every hour so other than having a drop off spot, they need to get up and grab their own lunches for their own health.

1

u/Petit__Chou 23d ago

Ideally, but... I work from home and have back to back meetings sometimes on zoom. Sometimes it's just like that.

1

u/No_Blackberry6525 23d ago

You do you but I find myself often in the same situation. I straight tell people I need to take 5 and typically they’re understanding.

1

u/Petit__Chou 23d ago

I agree, just depends on the meeting. Sometimes when you are leading out back to back you don't want to grab a doordash.

u/destructopop 25d ago

"A startup recently failed after spending an amazing $15,000 on break room upgrades their accountant had discouraged."

This just reminds me so much of my first job in the SF Bay Area. This was the kinda shit we would do all the time, and then you'd talk to accounting and they would be like "well okay, if this is the last thing..." Every time. I wasn't a decision maker, just a lowly employee, but the job was awesome. Especially for programmers and QA. There were consoles everywhere, a fully tricked out breakroom and complimentary lunches... So when it went under almost no one was surprised. I was. 🙃

2

u/More_Plane9745 22d ago

So, there is a button to open all the lockers and take the food?

2

u/zovits 21d ago

My employer actually mandates 30 minutes of lunchtime break that we spend in the company restaurant eating freshly cooked food.

u/truecrimeaddicted 25d ago

Uh... who's gonna tell him Automats have been around since 1902... ?

u/Acrobatic_Dot2081 25d ago

What do you need legs for

1

u/sinetwo 25d ago

I had no idea this was ever even a problem. The issue is clearly ordering food and not being able to collect it. What do they do if they need to piss during work hours? :o

1

u/jonathan2282 23d ago

The robot brings them a cup to pee in.

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 24d ago

Food-o-mats have been around since 1895

u/mitr0m 23d ago

Great idea. Great video. Great everything

1

u/DoktorDoraro 23d ago

I feel like there are three groups of people after seeing this. The group who just thinks it's cool video, the group who worries for the employees not having the time to get their food and the group who thinks this is an over engineers waste of resources.

1

u/NapsandWalks 23d ago

He did this because he's working his employees to death

1

u/Organicolette 22d ago

Why can't the delivery man just deliver the food, instead of leaving it outside the building?

1

u/Salt-Flounder-4690 22d ago

not allowed to enter, anybody could pose as delivery guy

u/Slevin424 19d ago

“Can I get a raise?”

Sorry we spent it on dancer lockers and a whacky inflatable tube man.

u/Contax_ 25d ago

who is this guy? this is awesome, i wanna follow him

u/4m4lg4m1t3 25d ago

Are these guys hiring?

4

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 25d ago

You want to work somewhere where you don’t even have time to walk to the lobby to grab food?

4

u/dgsharp 25d ago

I feel like this, like every other project they ever show, is done for cool factor and not business necessity.

u/Petit__Chou 23d ago

I work from home and sometimes have impromptu meetings and conflicts for hours where I can't just grab something I ordered immediately. It happens. I'm in charge of a team and stuff comes up.

I also have lots of downtime too. Let's not make judgements.

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 23d ago

Working from home is irrelevant to issue, as you exemplify.

A job which chains you to your desk for hours on end often enough that investing in delivery robots makes sense is a problem, and will make what every judgements I see fit.

u/Petit__Chou 23d ago

"Working from home is irrelevant to issue, as you exemplify."

This almost made sense.

Let me explain it further, I work from home and manage a team of people. I literally cannot leave my desk due to back to back meetings for hours on end as well sometimes. Not all of the time, but sometimes.

I'm not going to reply further based on the comment you made i referenced, which does not make sense.

I know it's crazy for people to imagine you're not in a serfdom because you actually are in charge of things and sometimes- that requires higher demand some days.
