Amid fears that humans might be replaced by robots in workplaces, a new experiment has highlighted that even machines are sometimes not good enough to keep their jobs. Agibot, a Chinese robot manufacturer, recently launched a livestream challenge involving six of its humanoid machines that were pressed into working a 24-hour shift at a convenience store in Shanghai’s Xuhui district.
the two robots assigned to cleaning and arranging the shelves failed to keep up While four robots emerged with adequate performance. Instead of picking it, the robot deviated from its designated route, moved outside the store and failed to return to its position. Meanwhile, the robot tasked with patrolling the shelves ‘lacked initiative’ when inspecting and replenishing products and could not keep up with the store’s turnover pace.
The cleaning bot encountered a full trash can on its route, according to a report in ITHome .
