(Newport Beach, CA) -- Chipotle is going high tech in the kitchen.

The restaurant chain is testing a new robot to help make its chips. No surprise they named it Chippy. But this assistant isn't perfect. It's been programmed to make chips the way people would, maybe some with a little extra salt or others with a hint of lime.

For now, the robot is working at a location in Southern California, with plans to move across the state later this year.
