The Newest Employees at Lowe’s Hardware Store: Robots
“People can come in with a random screw and say, Mr. Robot, I need more of these, and if we do have it in the store, they can find it,” Nel said. The robots can speak in English and Spanish.
Lowe’s started working with Fellow Robots, a technology company in Silicon Valley, in November to develop the robots. The cost of the project is undisclosed.
Lowe’s has been working on infusing more technology into its customer service. It has also developed a “holoroom” that can let shoppers see what different pieces of furniture look like in different rooms in a virtual-reality environment.
