    [How many robots does it take to run a grocery store? - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssZ\_8cqfBlE) Pretty impressive... and I wouldn't mind having a look at their codebase :)

    I wonder how long it took to debug the collision prevention algorithms. :laugh:

        Interesting but have they managed to get them to correctly pack the eggs under a large 10lb bag of potatoes yet. :)

          Unsurprisingly, the spokeswoman referred to their software as "artificial intelligence". I doubt it but it's still impressive.

          They probably used some machine learning for the navigation / collision avoidance.

                That would be learning the hard way!

                  Have look at the 46s mark in the top left background - it may need some more work :laugh:

                    Most all fast food should be fully automated by now as well. I'm not sure what's taking McDonald's so long to do it.

                      Probably because minimum-wage people are still cheaper than the capital cost + maintenance of the robot.
