Chipotle has introduced automation technology in select California locations, deploying an avocado-processing robot named 'Autocado' and an automated bowl-and-salad maker. The 'Autocado' robot is capable of cutting, coring, and peeling an avocado in approximately 26 seconds, aiming to reduce guacamole-making time by half. These collaborative robots, or 'cobots,' are designed to improve efficiency and are currently being tested in Huntington Beach and Corona del Mar, California. The new technology is ready to serve real-life customers.
