Eager to streamline the in-store shopping experience, Lowe’s will introduce a fleet of retail service robots this fall throughout select stores in the San Francisco Bay area. Called LoweBot, the kiosk-like robot will help consumers better navigate the store and merchandise, scan inventory and check stock availability. Employees that use the device as a sales assistant will be armed with real-time information, enabling them to deliver more personalized customer service, including specific project expertise. Meanwhile, the device’s artificial intelligence capabilities capture real-time data interactions and detect patterns that can influence business decisions.
