Summary:
- Chipotle is rolling out robot machines to make guacamole at select locations in California. The machines, called "Chippy," are designed to automate the process of making guacamole, which is a labor-intensive task.
- The robots use computer vision and artificial intelligence to mimic the hand movements of a human guacamole maker, including dicing avocados, mixing in other ingredients, and serving the final product.
- The move is part of Chipotle's efforts to explore new technologies and automation to improve efficiency and consistency in its operations, while also freeing up human employees to focus on other tasks.
