This video by ABB Robotics demonstrates a sorting robot used in a pancake factory. The action starts at about 1:15, when the robot begins sorting 400 pancakes per minute, switching off so that specific sizes are in a specific order. Just imagine how we could benefit if this machine was applied to soylent green production.

Rob - Reduced labor because they still need human sorters before the pancakes enter the automated section.

I've had these so called pancakes in the past. Never again. They are more like flat rubbery sponges then real pancakes one can make at home.
