Armstrong builds autonomous dishwashing robots for greasy kitchens
Armstrong Robotics just raised $12 million to roll out autonomous dishwashing arms in commercial kitchens. The system pairs neural networks with custom-swappable fingers to grab slippery, butter-coated plates and pull silverware with magnets, running 24/7 without human babysitters. Tackling the messiest kitchen job first gives them a practical gateway toward fully automated back-of-house operations.
