Plenty of businesses are exploring the idea of using robots to better serve their customers. Take Mars Wrigley for instance: it is using the snack carrying Smiley robot at a ShopRite store in Monroe, NY to serve shoppers. It uses smart sensors to detect when shoppers are nearby.
Smiley reacts to those around it with sounds and notes on its display. It can carry Snickers, M&Ms and other snacks.
