Walmart is bringing thousands of new robots into its stores across the United States.
raging on in the world of retail and minimum wage hikes a frequent occurrence, Walmart's expanding robot army is a signal that the company is committed to keeping labor costs down.
The retailer also stressed that these machines free up workers' time so that they can focus on customer service. Business Insider previously interviewed Crecelius about the shelf-scanning"This has largely been about how we improve our performance and improve our service to our customers," Crecelius previously told Business Insider.
Crecelius previously said that the information provided by the robots — like data on which items are running low — could even help customers shop Walmart's online offerings, as the store would have a more complete and accurate report of what exactly it has in stock. Crecelius also said the main reaction associates and customers have to the robot is"natural curiosity."
"People are just drawn to technology and what it does," he said."Our associates naturally get drawn to: 'What is this going to provide, how can I use this in what I'm doing?'"
