A robot owner has taught their machine, a Fanuc industrial robot built in 1997, how to make s’mores, which involves melting chocolate and a marshmallow between two graham crackers.
This was reportedly achieved by rigging the microwave with pneumatic cylinders to open the door and fitting the machine with vacuum grippers.
In another video, the robot owner explains how they acquired, powered and successfully reverse engineered the vintage industrial machine to create the snack.
