Marty the Supermarket Robot

We parked in the lot at the Stop & Shop supermarket in Acton, Massachusetts.

Eileen and Linda told me we’d look for Marty the Robot.

Marty the Robot roams the aisles and has some tasks he can accomplish.*.

We looked up and down and discovered he was plugged in at the front, charging.

Marty the Robot is 7 feet tall

Marty the Robot video at work

At Stop & Shop, Marty is a seven-foot-tall autonomous robot that patrols store aisles to improve the customer experience by detecting spills and other hazards on the floor, as well as scanning shelves to identify out-of-stock or misplaced items. Using computer vision and AI, Marty alerts store associates to issues, helping to create a safer environment and ensure on-shelf product availability. Marty is not a replacement for employees but rather a tool to support them, allowing them to spend more time assisting shoppers”
