XRobotics

XRobotics has developed a pizza-making robot called “xPizza Cube” — the latest upgraded version introduced in November 2021 succeeding its first robot dubbed “xPizza One.” The company claims its 20-inch wide xPizza Cube is the smallest pizza-making robot in the world. It can prepare 100–300 pizzas of all sizes (8–16 inches) per hour using three ingredients such as sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. The robot is equipped with a user-friendly interface and it is claimed that it can be set up within 15 minutes. The company pitches its product toward international pizza chains, independent brands, campuses and stadiums, and catering and food truck services, for a subscription fee of USD 1,500 per month.

The robot’s first in-store pilot project, announced in October 2020 for the initial version of the robot, took place at Dodo Pizza in Oxford, Mississippi, and was successfully completed by April 2020. In April 2021, the company announced its plans to begin mass production of the unit by late 2021 or early 2022, targeting to commence deliveries in late 2022. It has reportedly received 800 pre-orders from different pizza chains including a US-based prominent pizza chain (name not disclosed), which has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with the company to deploy pizza-making robots at 100+ locations in 2021. In May 2022, the company partnered with 1FIIT Technology to deploy its xPizza Cube robot at the Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri.
