Say Goodbye To Ketchup Stains : Robot Picks Up Spilled Liquids!

If you have kids, you know there will be spilled ketchup at the dinner table. There’s no surprise, it’s just going to happen. But wiping up ketchup, mayonnaise, or other liquids with complex viscosities never really works.You end up just smearing the sauce around.Well, now there’s finally a machine that can pick up those spill semi-liquids and sauces.

But a high-speed version of the robotic arm has also found a role for packing fragile semi-liquid products - which could include some meat products or gels.A statement from Furukawa Kikou posted on akihabaranews.com said:'The SWITL sheet is wrapped around a sliding plate, and it's fixed at one side, while the plate moves.'So items can be loaded and unloaded without altering relative positions.'Currently the sheet is made of Teflon, but we think we can achieve the same performance using other materials for the sheet.
