New York City ROBOcops in subways

just four months ago...Adams claiming them the future.   Yeah.    That program dismantled.  Adams won't say if it was a failure or just what theproblem was.  Well i can see the problem....they didn't put a roomba in the bottom of it to make it useful...they missed a great chance to do something good for New York.  L>  O>  L>

Passengers are glad they're gone.  

IN our local walmarts they use these RoboCleaners i assume to clean the floors, while PEOPLE ARE SHOPPING.    they're a nuisance. Shoot, they might just be spying on customers for all we know.

5. Walmart’s Automated Assistants
In April 2019, Walmart revealed plans to expand its use of in-store robots, which included the addition of 1,500 autonomous floor cleaners, 300 shelf scanners, 1,200 FAST unloaders, and 900 Pickup Towers.

The robots will take on the most repetitive and predictable in-store tasks such as inventory checking, polishing floors, and sorting through products, which will allow human employees to focus on customer service.

now that last part is funny.

the purpose of the automation is to avoid hiring human employees thus saving 1500 plus per hour...and you cannot find one to assist you in all of walmart.  IF YOU DO, consider yourself extremely lucky just that it probably in all liklihood will not be speaking english.
