24hr Convenience Store Vending Machine

A fully automated Convenience Store

It's the same everywhere, most people just kind of semi-static route they spent most of theirs time. It's only the youtuber and streamers that go around everywhere for contents and show the world many places. Seriously, I lived in a city for half my life and quite frankly I didn't travel more than 1/4 of the city unless sometimes I absent minded and drove the wrong street and have to figure out way to get back home.

The robot takes a surprisingly long time. It is really interesting to watch. The machine must be popular as many items were sold out. Thanks for the video.

[@draff1662]

Good idea, however, Robot Arm is a tad slow on the uptake! I enjoyed this video - the Bacons never fail to amaze me with their unique finds. Any day I wake-up to one of your videos is a good day 😉 Thanks, DancingBacons.

[@jeffw1267]

I think the machine had to wait for the payment to be validated.

[@DiyNuke]

@@jeffw1267 more an software thing. Seems to go back go the starting point at every new item. Can be done so that it instantly goes to the next one after dropping the box or atleast have the droping part very close to the item collecting spot🙃

[@daniellxnder]

@@DiyNuke and here I am in my head thinking that the robotic arm would use an algorithm to determine the least amount of movements needed to pick all 5 items but it just went with the order queue instead ehe

[@Iam_76]

@@daniellxnder that wasn't part of the mvp release

[@yooncrown]

This is cool but I can't help but think how anxious I'd be thinking what if the robot just stops and misses all my items or what if the door closes before I can pick it up 😭

[@rachelcookie321]

If you pick up each item after it drops them instead of waiting for it to of dropped all of them then you’ll have plenty of time to pick it up.

[@daniellxnder]

Buy one more item to pick it up 👀

[@ridakhan2515]

😂

[@Ba1k3n]

This is a very interesting idea and as for the robot's speed? Part of it may be that perhaps the robot HAS to return to that neutral position so that it can make the needed movements to get items? Sure going faster would be nice, but for now just the fact it can even do this is amazing.

[@m0zkiii]

this is so funny it must take about 10x as long as just walking around a shop and choosing your own things ahhaha i find all this "convenience" technology fascinating

[@Danne89]

This is mostly just to show the tech. A conventional vending machine is much quicker of course. :)

[@Cate_78]

25-30 years from now, people are going to watch this and laugh at how "people back then" were so amazed at something so simple and common. Just like we have videos now of the 90s morning TV shows where they brought in experts to explain what the internet is and everybody was amazed at dial-up and the TV hosts had no idea even how to pronounce the "@" sign of an "electronic-mail address." 😅

[@user-vo7vp1xm9q]

This is year 1. Year 25 will have it spinning like a competitive ice skater

[@thany3]

It seems like another temporary promo/novelty set up. This machine is easily replaced by three or four traditional vending machines, utilising proven tech. It just looks overly complicated, not to mention painstakingly slow. It does make for an amusing video, so there's that at least 🙂

[@TheNugettinage]

It's fascinating that they put so much money down on the robotic arm, but then clearly cheaped out on the processor that calculates what movements it has to make. It takes such a long time for it to get moving! A bit of it must have to do with the programming of it as well, it would seem that the fastest way of doing the processing is just have a pre-set motion path to all of the different containers, with an ID attached. When the order comes through, the computer just fetches the pre-made path for each product ID and feeds it to the arm, rather than having to calculate each new order which is what I think is making it so slow to start. Still wouldn't be super fast, mind you, but it'd be faster to start moving.

[@jahzielperalta484]

I watch with a hungry stomach. I left with a hungry stomach. The machine was adorable.

[@TheCode-X]

The arm being extra-slow, the timed door and overall the waiting time to get a few thingies makes me ignore this machine and go to a real shop

Hi! Watching your videos inspired me to study abroad a semester in Singapore at Yale-NUS, and I can't believe you were here in u-town :D I will have to leave Singapore soon, but thank you for your amazing videos and for inspiring a little college student to pick a great country to study abroad in :)

Hope you had a great time in Singapore!! Do come back and visit :)

[@OriginalBoringSpaceCadet]

Thank you for sharing your part of the world each week. I am amazed by the different vending and convenience options you have. I wish we in the southeastern United States had the same options. One thing I enjoy about your videos is the sharp reactions the lovely woman has when she eats something that tastes great. It is priceless. It is a real and truthful reaction. It is not fake.

[@jeanbettencourt3728]

Great video ! The robotic arm takes more then a bit of time to select & drop the items, but it certainly is a unique way to shop !

[@kurv7310]

i have so much respect for this youtube, his or her video’s are so calming and they help me sleep.

[@TheyCallMeLord]

It would be hilarious if someone tried to break in and the arm just started beating them up

[@chinanorthairguns]

That seems like it would be expensive for the operator vs having several traditional vending machines.

[@angelofsymphonia932]

Can you imagine if a real cashier stopped and threw their hands up in the air after bagging every item 😂

[@hao-san128]

feels like online and offline/local shopping combined

[@Beneaththeshower]

I wonder if future vending stores will have smaller, more responsive robots, making the process faster and taking up less space. This is an interesting concept, having a robot arm delivering the food. Thank you for this video.

[@Moemoepoin]

The automatic closing door is dangerous, if someone went slow and their hand is still in there, they could get injured.

[@pedroakjr2371]

Pretty sure you can block that with your hands, it's a weak mechanism. Once it's closed it will probably be difficult to open without breaking it though.

[@pkmnan00bis]

It's getting harder and harder to find workers to work in stores all day (and especially at night) as wages rise and the pool of workers shrink. Businesses are countering this by making the stores mostly self service with self and automated checkouts. Vending machines can be convenient to use in the middle of the night or in places more stores cannot be built for the consumer, and reduces the chance of merchandise being stolen for the business.

[@factpills5607]

@@pkmnan00bis actually in my country workers are getting unemployed due to high use of machines. If this kind of techs starts here, it will be tremendously harmful for them.

How convenient is it really? It takes forever for the arm to process the order and to retrieve your items. And mind you, you're paying extra for this novelty and "convenience". At the end of the day, unless things can be speeded up, I don't think your neighbourhood convenience store is going to be out of business that soon,

Someone needs to reprogram that arm with better interpolation and safe zones. It is so slow to move and "decide" what to do next that it gives me anxiety due to its inefficiency.

[@mimi0424]

love this! I was shocked at how much the corn chips were..in the US you can get a huge bag for that price..I think you got ripped off lol..but the band aid box was a good deal

[@TheNugettinage]

I was gonna say that since these are Singapore dollars, the price is misleading, but from the looks of it Singapore dollars have a higher value than USD at the moment, so it'd cost even more in USD! That said, this is relative to buying power, possibly there is more buying power in Singapore which leads to more expensive products. The US also just generally has very cheap food, I think, due to subsidies on stuff like corn production

[@squiddybilly]

Corn chips are probably much more popular in the US, plus the population of the Singapore is only 5.6 million so you wouldn't get the advantage of economies of scale that you can in the US that has a much larger population. Also, these are convenience store prices, not supermarket prices. As a comparison, I just read a Kitchn article where raw prawn chips are US$8.99 for 2 boxes in the US, but here in New Zealand they're the equivalent of US$1.20.

[@JanetLeeLY]

As a Singaporean, I didn’t even know Of stuff recommended by the bacons…for eg that coke machine which can make the drink turn into ice or the row of different vending machines with different stuff.
