“Miso Robotics today announced that it has raised $10 million to bring its restaurant worker robot Flippy to fast food chains and restaurants. Flippy will begin flipping burgers at CaliBurger in Pasadena, California later this year and expand to 50 CaliBurger locations by the end of 2019.”
“Flippy is an industrial robotic arm mounted to the floor and modified for use in a commercial kitchen. The arm was manufactured by Fanuc and utilizes Miso Robotics’ cloud AI platform to operate the robot using a combination of cameras, thermal scanners, and lasers.”

This is kind of amazing.
This is kind of amazing. I had an older model Microbee which I used with a Z80 assembler rom. I find the idea that people are still working on these vintage machines incredible but I get it too. They were fun.

Fuzix first boot to shell on the (emulated) Microbee 256TC (Which is the iconic Australian 8bit machine)
It’s a bit shaky still – it’s only using the most basic video features, floppy write eats the disk and only the TC works as I’ve yet to sort out the crazy lightpen keyboard trick the older ones do.
From a port perspective the core code isn’t too difficult. There is 32K of fixed memory and 32K banked, text mode 6545 video and a 2793 floppy controller.
It’s in fact very TRS80 model 4 like and the port is based upon that.
The WD1010 optional hard/floppy disk controller isn’t yet done (driver is done but needs debugging) while the modern CF ATA add on would probably work on a real Microbee but the ubee 5.8.0 emulator isn’t up to Fuzix usage of ATA. Need to check 6.0.0
The 256TC is ideal in many ways – it’s enough RAM to hold 6 processes without swapping while the older 128K ones can only handle two so will swap a bit under single user usage.
This is an excellent book by @raganwald which he has generously put online as a (very long) web page.

This is pretty awesome and demonstrates an important point.
This is pretty awesome and demonstrates an important point. Functional and reactive programming are perfectly accessible concepts for novice programmers to learn. With advanced compositional primitives such as these programming becomes simultaneously simpler and more powerful.
