I find the deliver so convenient. It is quicker to order online then drive around to several stores and be frustrated in not finding what I want.

How does the robot get the stuff to put in cart? I guess there are other robots that do so or a human bot.
Amazing the planning that went into this.

I remember the old days when you wrote away for a catalog then waited weeks to get one then you wrote out an order on paper then mailed to company your order and you waited and waited. Now you wonder it is taking more then 2 days.....

I am not an expert but have seen the pick robots in action.

Given a pick list, the robot enters the warehouse aisle known to contain the merchandise being picked. It finds the bin marked by barcode and picks the required number of articles from the shelf/bin. The picked merchandise is moved to the packing area where it is deposited for packing.
