The world’s first robot burger vending machine “RoboBurger” has opened in Newport Centre Mall in Jersey City.

According to the official website, RoboBurger is an artificially intelligent, self-operating and patented kitchen designed to include all of the processes of a restaurant at a fraction of the size.

A touch screen allows you to order a burger with ketchup, mustard, and cheese or to customize any of those ingredients. The burger is made of Angus beef, on a potato bun with aged Wisconsin cheddar and Heinz ketchup. The whole process takes about six minutes and costs $6.99.
