LG's rolling robots could soon arrive at the largest supermarket chain in South Korea. The tech giant has inked a deal with grocery retailer E-Mart to develop self-driving shopping carts that can follow consumers around the store, according to Yonhap News. The device will be developed under LG's CLOi brand, which has released other robots for the home, hotels and other uses. LG has inked a deal with grocery retailer E-Mart to develop self-driving shopping carts that can follow consumers around the store, help direct them to items and keep track of shopping lists. LG's cylindrical robot features a face-like screen where it can display users' shopping list.

Details are limited at this stage, but the company suggests it will roll out a pilot test later this year. It's unknown where this will take place but it will utilize Kroger's pre-existing online ClickList ordering system and and Nuro's app. The process is pretty straightforward, place an order for groceries online and they are picked, packed and loaded onto a Nuro vehicle. These small autonomous vehicles will then navigate to their destination where customers meet it at the curb and take receipt of their groceries.
