Autonomous inventory robot rolls out at Seattle Fred Meyer
A Seattle Fred Meyer grocery store is using an autonomous robot, called Tally, to scan shelves and check inventory. The machine—over 6 feet tall, loaded with cameras and AI—quietly moves through aisles, flagging which products are low or out. Kroger, Fred Meyer's parent, has rolled out these robots in multiple Washington stores. Tally's data prompts staff to restock shelves but there's no word on job impact or privacy measures.
- Tally robot scans grocery shelves using cameras and AI
- Rolled out by Kroger in several Washington stores
- Robot provides real-time data for restocking products
- No company info on job impact or customer privacy
