Adorable Kangaroo-Resembling Robots May Soon Be Restocking Shelves In Japanese Retail Stores

If you think this is creepy, would you rather have a human replica restocking food in stores? Robots are taking over, but it is better than it seems. Robots are taking over jobs that are either dangerous, or not wanted("boring" jobs). The robot in the video as you said, is crazy slow. If you had read the article you would have seen in paragraph 6 it says, "Telexistence is working to improve the limitations and hopes to introduce a faster, more agile Model-T within the next two years". After reading this you may have noticed that this first version must have been a prototype, as it is. Technology is advancing, at a quick rate! Soon there will be a faster, more agile version of this. As said in the text, when the artificial intelligence capable of running this machine comes out, a person will no longer need to control it. Therefore there would be more of these working and I stores it would cost much less money then to hire a person. To get one of these robots would have a grea effect.
