This is the work of a designer. Not an engineer, a designer. Projects of this scale have design teams and committees. They didn't put a pair of features on it which speak the same design language, or any design language at all. Even the texture and colour couldn't have possibly been chosen any worse. If it was like some seamless white blob it would have even been easier to clean and more visible.

One example, the base of it is slimmer before the cut-out than the head. Every normal thinking person would have made these two sections the same width

Then again the lights, shape, positioning and colour are all horrible and the panel gaps look insanely cheap. Hell even construction site toilets look better built than this thing and this is meant to operate among customers.

Did cocktail napkin math on this. The grocery store I used to work at spent ~$20k per year on floor monitoring. Every half hour an employee would walk the entire floor looking for trip and slip hazards. This was required by our insurance company to minimize lawsuit payouts for negligence. This robot can do that same job and it does it continuously instead of one every half an hour. Not only does this give the store and insurance company a defense in court against rulings of negligence, it also makes the store safer and more pleasant.
Of course the robot itself, which isn't much more than a downwardly angled set of cameras on wheels, does take up some space, so it can end up being in the way of customers, frustrating them. And as a few images have shown, it's possible for the robot itself to knock something over and then track the mess around. False positives also happen. It's early days and the robots will improve. The capital expense will decline, people will become more accustom to seeing them, and the software will get better. It will follow a similar adoption curve that self-checkout machines have.

>>12775005
Several reasons but the simplest is that the robot can be tried out very easily. Retrofitting a store with thousands* of ceiling mounted cameras is a large investment. That doesn't mean it won't end up being a better solution but it's one with a high cost to experiment with. The robot is relatively inexpensive and if a particular store decides it doesn't fit their needs, it can easily be stuck in the back of a van and deployed an hour later at a different store.
* Yes, it would need to be thousands due to the required resolution of the image of the floor and the angles involved for coverage similar to what the robot achieves. The "best" form would be a drone that flies around the store but customers are going to freak out if there's a drone flying around. Second best would be some sort of spider like robot that climbs over the top of the shelves and looks down, being able to adjust its view when needed. Once again this would not be accepted by customers. Rail mounted cameras are another option but likely would make people feel like they're in a prison.
This robot is basically R&D. It's unlikely that five years from now that there will be robots that look like this one roaming around every grocery store. But lessons will be learned from it and some other form of monitoring system will be implemented, perhaps the array of ceiling cameras you asked about. But the concept needs to be proven first and the actuaries need to crunch the numbers to see if the decline in injury claims makes it worth the expense.

The real problem is negligence lawsuits.
We aren’t even allowed to put up a slippery floor sign while we go and get a mob any more. We have to have a live person stand there and actively tell people “wet floor/spill” so if you are the only one around you have to wait till another employee walks by and tell him to get the mob,

the actual purpose is to see if an automated interface can reduce the downtime in a certain process, in this case cleaning and supervising.
The same principle has been applied in amazon warehouses, the next step will be the standardization of storage and the implementation of automated machines which will clean and sort inventories.

Dumb robot. It is cool that it can scan shelves, but looking into the future, smart shelving would be a much better and cheaper alternative. Costs could be rolled into the production of the shelving and you can get real time inventory tracking without stupid robots in the way.

Wal-Mart has been testing shelf scanning robots that look similar to the one OP posted. As far as I know they weren't also purposed for detecting spills. What probably is happening at Wal-Mart is that they're moving the robots from store to store because right now the purpose is to gather data on their effectiveness and how much of a disruption the cause in normal store operations. They'll want to get data from many different store locations. If the results are good over a wide range of store types and geographic areas, they will then crunch the numbers to determine if it is worth investing in them for all or most stores.

Theoretical a good idea. UV-C is mean to bacteria and virus.

But how much power do these lamps have? 2 x 30 Watts? Is that enough for the surfaces and products the robots roll by?

Years ago I saw a documentary about mobile doctors and surgery teams in Soviet Union. They travel every some weeks to rural villages in lonely Siberia, Mongolia, Ukrainia, Kazakstan whatever, and perform ambulant treatments for local citizens.

First they build up the medical equipment and then sterilize the air and surfaces in the community halls, classroms etc. where they do the operations.

IIRC they used high energy, high pressure mercury gas discharge lamps with 1.5 or 3 kW power.

Put the lamp in the room, all humans leave the room, switch on the lamp. Flies and bacterias dead.

Form follows function and budgets. The design is from the 1960s and the studio did what it could do with the money they had.

In Britain every child and adult knows, ok, 99,99% know the Daleks, like everyone in US knows Spiderman and The Green Goblin.

Try to watch the last two eposodes with Capaldi as Doctor.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Enough_and_Time_(Doctor_Who)

There it is explained quite well, with series' internal logic, why the old Cybermen looked so ridiculous (white socks drawn over the faces of the "men in rubber suits", silver painted plastic pants) and the new ones (from 2005 on) so futuristic cool.

It's similar to Battlestar Galyctica. The old Cylons from the 1970s vs the new cool Cylons from 2004.

The only design I would accept and kind of respect, without the uncanny valley syndrome, would be a bigger version of Nao, maybe around 1.5 m.

It has an acceptable mix of anthropomorphic human look, fortunately a totally not-uncanny face, some cuteness, some scifi-look and some seriousness as robot.

>How is this not bad for the food?

It’s just electromagnetic energy. Like microwaves, IR or X-rays. UV-C sinks in some micrometers into the surface and can damage DNA, enzymes and protein structures in the cells. Small and weak things like bacteria and virus will be inactivated by the enery. Big life, humans can repair the damages up to some level. If you lie in the summer sun for decades, the damages will be too much. White and black skin cancer will arise after 30 years. Because of this, all people must wear protective clothing and sunglasses when working near UV-C light. But food, from apples to cerealia, won’t suffer „radioactive contamination“ or something. BTW: In nearly all German Wasserwerke, with its strict laws, fresh water is sterilized with strong UV light nowadays.

Having worked as a wagie and a department manager in a grocery store, I'm all for these bots as long as they can stay out of the way. Detecting issues that need attention is a win for customers and the business alike. Plus the tasks it takes on are tedious and no one likes doing them so it's a win for wagies too.

Keep honest people honest. Just like conspicuous security cameras don't eliminate all theft but does reduce it, the robot should have the same effect. But if you're in the ghetto, the robot isn't going to prevent shit because no one there really cares about getting caught. They'll happily knock the robot over, never thinking that they might end up arrested for causing damages to something that costs as much as a car. But in working class neighborhoods it can help keep people from some shoplifting. It's not really something to buy the robot for but it is a small bonus if you buy it for other reasons.
