    [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 :)

      Very impressive

        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.

            The narrator did mention that the robots "know" not to put heavy things on top of light things, etc. To err is robotic; to really screw things up, use a human. :)

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

                What they did not show was the pile of bent and battered boxes out the back.

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

                              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.
