Last year, Chipotle unveiled Chippy, a robotic arm programmed to make tortilla chips (unevenly seasoned to preserve the experience of finding an extra flavorful one). As Food & Wine reports, Chipotle recently teamed up with product development company Vebu to create Autocado: a machine that slices, cores, and peels avocados. According to Chipotle, employees typically need a good 50 minutes to produce a single batch of guacamole—and Autocado could cut that time in half.
