In the near future, your tortillas could be android-made. Chipotle is commissioning Miso Robotics to manufacture a robot that can make tortillas from scratch. The prototype is called Chippy.
With artificial intelligence, Chippy is trained to replicate Chipotle's exact recipe – using corn masa flour, water and sunflower oil – to cook chips to perfection, season with a dusting of salt, and finish with a hint of fresh lime juice. It was essential that the technique remained the same so customers could enjoy the same texture and taste.
Chippy is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center, Chipotle's innovation hub in Irvine, Calif., and will be introduced to a Chipotle outlet in Southern California later this year.
