Watch Chipotle's Guacamole Robot Peel and Core 25 lbs of Avocados

Developed as part of a collaboration with a company called Vebu that “works with food industry leaders to co-create intelligent automation and technology solutions,” the Autocado can be loaded with up to 25lbs. or ripe avocados which the cobot slices in half and then removes the pit and peel, depositing the unwanted parts in a waste bin. The rest of the fruit is dropped into a giant stainless steel bowl which can be directly transferred to a counter and used to finish the final guacamole prep.

According to Chipotle, on average it takes about 50 minutes for kitchen staff at its restaurants to turn avocados into a batch of guacamole, including the peeling and coring steps. With Autocado, the process could potentially take half the amount of time, freeing up kitchen staff for other food prep tasks while still ensuring that customers are served freshly made guac.
