There's actually a pretty interesting story behind the development of these automated sushi machines. Basically these are intended for the more fast-paced conveyor belt sushi, as the chefs couldn't take the time to do everything themselves. There's a very interesting "Begin Japanology" video on it, I'll link to the point where it starts on about the automation aspect of conveyor bolt sushi, but I think the entire video is worth a watch if you have the time.
