Chipotle's guacamole robot is cursed to peel and core avocados for eternity

Chipotle isn't done experimenting with robots that could make life easier for restaurant staff. The chain has teamed up with robotics company Vebu to test a prototype Autocado robot (yes, that's the name) that cuts, cores and peels avocados to be used in guacamole. Kitchen workers only have to fill the bot with up to 25lbs of ripe avocados and choose a size. After the processing is done, they collect the fruit in a bowl, add remaining ingredients and start mashing. As Autocado improves, Chipotle expects to cut guacamole prep time in half -- no mean feat when it usually takes 50 minutes to make a batch.
