Walmart to release more shelf-scanning robots soon

Walmart plans to bring more robots to its stores. The machines assist staffers by scanning out-of-stock items that have been mislabeled or incorrectly priced. The company said the robots are not replacing workers but helping make their jobs easier. We will always need great people in our stores working hard for our customers. This technology is a tool that helps our associates know where they can make the biggest difference for our customers. The tests have been in effect for the past three years in Arkansas, Pennsylvania and California, and the company plans to include 50 more stores by the end of January.
