Chipotle is currently training its first culinary robot at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine California. This robot, named Chippy created by Miso Robotics is tasked with making tortilla chips. Chipotle sees the future in this robot and robotic technologies because it will allow its employees to focus on other tasks while further enhancing customer service. The robot is being trained to make Chipotle tortilla chips using the traditional recipe, and its also being trained to add a human touch to each batch. Often customers are used to getting a few chips in their batch with a little bit more salt and lime, and these are the little intricacies that Chipotle’s robot will continue carry on. The robot will be integrated into Chipotle’s restaurant in Southern California later this year.
