Loading ...SAN JOSE (KPIX 5) — There’s a new employee rolling around several Bay Area stores — the bilingual robots — asking if you need help at Lowe’s.
“I’m Lowe’s Robot helper,” the Lowe’s robot says. “I can tell you where things are in the store.”
The Lowe’s Hardware store’s latest piece of hardware…a helpful robot they’re calling, LoweBot, it wanders the isles approaching people to help find stuff.
“Can I help you find something?” Lo Bot asks.
Kyle Nel, the executive director of Lowe’s Innovation Labs, said it won’t replace workers.
“Not at all. This was designed from the ground up to be an assistant to the store helper,” Nel said.
