"Walmart announced plans last week to employ robots in at least 50 US locations in the near future, which will assist the company's associates in keeping the shelves stocked.

"Walmart said the robots will be used to check for out-of-stock items, incorrect prices and wrong or missing labels. In the selected locations, robots will be seen navigating aisles, scanning the shelves."
