“#Walmart fires inventory-tracking robots, will use humans instead<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Walmart is parting ways with robots used to monitor store inventory as the retail giant realized humans are just as capable, a new report said.<\/p>\n

The robot layoff is the result of the company cutting ties with startup Bossa Nova Robotics, which over the last five years provided six-foot-tall inventory-tracking machines to roughly 500 Walmart stores, The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Sources familiar with the move told the news<\/a>paper that company executives determined they can use their own store employees to effectively keep tabs of inventory.<\/p>\n

Walmart US chief executive John Furner has also expressed concern over shopper reactions to the hulking robots.<\/p>\n

Walmart is looking to replace the robots with workers who have been walking around stores to pull online orders, which have increased during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned a lot about how technology<\/a> can assist associates, make jobs easier and provide a better customer experience,\u201d a Walmart spokeswoman told the Journal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue testing new technologies and investing in our own processes and app<\/a>s to best understand and track our inventory and help move products to our shelves as quickly as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other robots, including floor-cleaning ones, will remain in Walmart, the report said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
