Little Caesars patents a pizza-making robot

Robots can already complete a wide variety of tasks for their human overlords, but they may soon be about to conquer the final frontier: making pizzas.

As first reported by ZDNet, Little Caesars has received a new patent for an “automated pizza assembly system,” or what is essentially a robot that makes pizza.

The patent describes it as “a robot including a stationary base and an articulating arm having a gripper attached to the end is operable to grip a pizza pan having pizza dough therein.”
