Retail robots can collect data in near real time and are gradually scaling in deployment, writes consultant Georges Mirza.

Marty, an indoor autonomous mobile robot made by Badger Technologies, was spotted wandering a GIANT Food Stores parking lot.

Badger Technologies’ in-store, multipurpose robots will complement the retail systems of STCR, which hopes to help independent grocers adopt automation.

Badger Technologies has added the PatrolBot to its retail robotics portfolio. It is also building a partner ecosystem to integrate the autonomous robot with security workforce management systems.
