Your Chipotle Chips May Soon Be Made By A Robot Named 'Chippy'

Chipotle announced on Wednesday that it is testing out an alternative way to make its tortilla chips using an AI-powered robot named "Chippy." The creation of the robot is intended to help businesses run more efficiently and to help employees not have to do mundane tasks. "We are always exploring opportunities to enhance our employee and guest experience," Curt Garner, chief technology officer at Chipotle, said in a statement. "Our goal is to drive efficiencies through collaborative robotics that will enable Chipotle's crew members to focus on other tasks in the restaurant." Chippy is capable of working right beside other employees in the back kitchen.
