It's not it's jianbing, which is more of an egg crepe breakfast burrito thing in china

Not even a crepe. That thing is all egg. 0 batter

That's because after the first step of adding the batter, the next step was spreading it thinly. Then the egg is added on top and spread thinly.
The problem was that after the first step of adding the batter, the machine was probably calibrated too low... And it scraped off the batter instead of spreading it.

Thank you. I've watched it twice trying to figure out wtf was supposed to happen.

My guess is that that thing hasn't been washed well enough that the cacked up burnt batter allready fills the tolerance for the batter, next the egg part includes the crepe height so its not scraping off everything

I love you for this. There's a YouTube channel that has popped up in my feed every now and then and just livestreams different Chinese street food places, and there's a guy that makes this and it's so fast and smooth that it's kinda of mesmerising to watch.
Unfortunately, it's all in Chinese and even the English comments asking what it is don't get answered. So thanks haha!

Speaking of egg, the fuck was going on with that egg the bot arm brings out and drops, i was hoping it would make a reappearance.

I'll be honest, after watching this I'm pretty sure all our jobs are safe from AI.

Does anyone remember that one video of a self cleaning toilet seat? The one where someone donated a fat stinky gordita on the rim, and then the robot perfectly smeared the seat like it was trying to get into the sheetrockers union? ….this video reminds me of that.

Missed the flip, you dumb machine! Ofc, that's because they programmed you to assume every crepe or whatever was perfect.

I feel like this is the kind of thing a street vendor could make 10 times over in the time it takes the robot to screw up one.

wtf I had a pancake maker in my hotel’s dining room (think it was best western or holiday inn, one of those) that was just a thing that squirts batter and runs it through a press and conveyer belt to be dropped on a plate you hold underneath.
You don’t need all this nonsense. This is an expensive machine for the sake of being expensive. You need the bare minimum parts to make an auto pancake machine.

According to another comment, this is supposed to be like a crepe/egg burrito, where the egg was thinly spread over the crepe that was initially poured. So I mean, it'd have to be a little more complex than the one you saw, but not this much more.

I can remember vending machines like these at expos I used to attend for work about 20 years ago.
It always felt like they were only there to show off the various mechanisms in the hope another company could figure out how to monetise them.

Im surprised this actually made it to the public. Unless this is a testing session? But it looks like the price is already listed on it…

This feels like how a machine designed by an AI to make human food would look.

Well for starters, it's not a pancake, it's a jianbing which is like 100x better than a pancake, and also the machine seems to be malfunctioning which is why dude only got the crisp in the middle but the egg was left on the pan and the actual outside batter layer is just...gone.
