Spod is an AI-powered shopping pal that suggests products based on age & gender - ETtech

Invento CEO Balaji Vishwanathan (right) and an employee interact with Spod, next to MITRI, a humanoid developed by the firm. At an office in HSR Layout, a box-shaped robot, mounted with a tablet, moves along the office floor while avoiding objects. As it detects a human face, it stops to greet and introduce itself: "Greetings, I'm Spod. I'm here to help you shop." Spod is an artificial intelligence-enabled robotic shopping assistant that visitors to supermarkets may well see in near future.
