The Rise of Robotics in The US Grocery Stores Is Unstoppable What if you'll come face to face with a robot while shopping at a grocery store? A robot that is able to assist grocery employees. And aside from that, it is also able to you in finding the grocery items you wanna buy and it's there at your service. Would you trust a robot?

A wheeled robot named Marty is rolling into nearly 500 grocery stores to alert employees if it encounters spilled granola, squashed tomatoes or a broken jar of mayonnaise. But there could be a human watching from behind its cartoonish googly eyes. Badger Technologies CEO Tim Rowland says its camera-equipped robots stop after detecting a potential spill. The'Marty' robots will roam grocery store aisles looking for spills and hazards. When it spots an accident, it will alert staff to come and clean up spills.
