Walmart expands its workforce—with robots
A new tech trend has emerged at the world's largest retailer, as Walmart brings on board thousands of robots in nearly 5,000 of its 11,348 stores. According to, these robots will be scrubbing floors, scanning boxes, unloading trucks and tracking shelf inventory at mostly domestic U.S. locations.
"Automating certain tasks," according to Walmart CEO, Doug McMillon on CNN,"gives associates more time to do work they find fulfilling and to interact with customers." Continuing this logic, the retailer points to robots as a source of greater efficiency, increased sales and reduced employee turnover.
