Walmart
is deploying a floor-scrubbing robot to more than 360 US
stores. -
The robot, dubbed Auto-C, will not replace human
employees, the company said.
Walmart
is testing a new autonomous robot in 78 stores starting
Thursday.
The robot scrubs store floors, taking over a job that previously
took Walmart employees about two hours daily to complete, the
company said in a
blog post.
Walmart will soon deploy the robot, dubbed Auto-C, to more than
360 US stores.
Auto-C will not replace any human employees; instead, it will
free up employees’ time to focus on helping customers, the
company said.
Employees will engage with the robot by programming its cleaning
sessions, pre-sweeping areas it will scrub, and cleaning parts of
the store that the robot can’t reach.
Here’s a video of the Auto-C in action:
