[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Kyochon Chicken has introduced a chicken frying robot to its franchise stores for the first time.

Kyochon F&B announced on the 24th that it has introduced a 'collaborative robot' for the first time at its Songdo 8th District store in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.

A collaborative robot refers to a robot that can work in the same space as humans and physically interact with them. It was developed in collaboration with the robot specialist company Doosan Robotics.

The collaborative robot installed at the Songdo 8th District store is responsible for the second frying process out of two frying stages. Customers can watch the robot and staff cooking through a showcase window installed inside the store.

Kyochon plans to continuously introduce new stores with collaborative robots starting from the Songdo 8th District store. Additionally, it plans to expand the robot system to cover the entire cooking process, including the first frying and sauce application. This is expected to improve franchise operation efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction through consistent quality provided by the robots.
