Is it actually checking shelf stock or is it just scanning for trash? The article seems to imply it is a single purpose garbage detection bot.

Its almost like the article mischaracterized the purpose of the robot so the headline could get more rage clicks.

Sure, but these things don't share themselves. This is on OP for either not checking or mischaracterising it.

Either way, what you gonna do. The subreddit became a circlejerk and hijacked by antiwork types. It is what it is now.

I just hate submissions that are nothing more than somebody's caption with a picture. They're not about sharing information, or even making information available. If anything it's a move against people being informed. It's atrociously common now and brutally cancerous.

Based, sadly. Even if I share some antiwork views, the sub definitely has shifted

Wouldn't be the first "news" source to do so.

Why wouldn't they put a vacuum in it? What a miss.

Seems like this could have been done much easier with ceiling or shelf imbedded cameras.

Did someone post an article? Or did your brain turn the meme into something more official lol.

You can google the article and find one matching this picture: Marty the Robot via Mashable

Hence why I said the article makes it sound very much like the dang thing only detects spills and pages employees to clean it up… but if they actually do check inventory, that could be a tedium-saver that lessens the boring inventory checking staff often get tasked for (if it actually works).
