Chippy the Robot is Chipotle's New Tortilla Chip BotIn 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.#robot #MisoRobotics #Chipotle #tortilla #chip #restaurant #cooking

White Castle to Get "Flippy 2" Robot Fry Cooks to Serve Food FasterAbout two years ago, the American burger chain White Castle decided to deploy a robot from Miso Robotics. Aptly named Flippy, this robot can flip burgers — a huge help for human cooks in fast food restaurants. After getting satisfactory results from a test run of the autonomous robot, White Castle decided to deploy more Flippy robots to more locations. Miso Robotics unveiled Flippy 2 in November 2021. Of course, White Castle availed of their partner's new robot. The restaurant chain has recently announced that it will be installing Flippy 2 in 100 of its locations. Compared to the previous model, this version takes 56% less aisle space and is 13% shorter. The main difference between Flippy and Flippy 2 is that the former model is a burger-flipping robot, while this one takes over a whole frying station. While it seems that this version no longer cooks burgers, it can fry chicken tenders, onion rings, and french fries. With a Flippy robot by their side, cooks at White Castle will have a less stressful environment.
