Japanese Robot To Clock In At A Convenience Store In Test Of Retail Automation
In August, a robot vaguely resembling a kangaroo will begin stacking sandwiches, drinks and ready meals on shelves at a Japanese convenience store in a test its maker, Telexistence, hopes will help trigger a wave of retail automation.
Following that trial, store operator FamilyMart says it plans to use robot workers at 20 stores around Tokyo by 2022.
At first, people will operate them remotely – until the machines’ artificial intelligence (AI) can learn to mimic human movements.
