It can peel, chop and even remove the cores from over ten kilograms of avocados in a single operation! And all without the help of any human employees. Its name is Autocado and it's a robot being used by Chipotle restaurants in the USA to speed up the preparation of guacamole. One more example of how the fast-food industry is looking to technology to deliver meals even faster.

We've already seen articulated robotic arms dipping French fries into hot oil. Now there's a new robot in the kitchen; Autocado is an intelligent tech solution that prepares avocados at top speed. Not only does it peel avocados, it can also remove the core and separate out all the flesh, so that all that's left to do is mash it and add the other guacamole ingredients.
