Food is already packed by robots at Walmart

Walmart on Wednesday unveiled its latest weapon in the battle against Amazon and Kroger for shoppers’ food spending: a grocery-picking robot – origo wrote after Business Insider.

The machine, part of a system called Alphabot, operates in a 20,000 square-foot facility that Walmart built onto one of its stores in Salem, New Hampshire. The company plans to build similar facilities onto stores in Mustang, Oklahoma and Burbank, California this year. (origo)
