excerpt:

  PizzaBot was developed by engineers at Carnegie-Mellon to help disabled
  people become entrepreneurs. [...]

  The result is a robotic arm placed in front of a semicircular counter,
  with ingredients and tools within easy reach.  After the disabled
  manager calls out an order, a simple voice-recognition system decides
  which of two possible sizes and 12 condiments it just heard. [...]

Article said that K.G. Engelhardt was the head of the engineering team.
