It’s as if Christopher Walken’s Googly-Eyed Gardner decided to go into retail: Supermarket chain Giant Food Stores has deployed six-foot-three-inch googly-eyed robots named Marty—and it has plans to bring him to all 172 stores across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia this year.
Marty is the result of a partnership between parent company Ahold Delhaize, the Dutch food retailer, and autonomous robot company Badger Technologies.
