French Carrefour tests humanoid robot in warehouse

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Carrefour CEO Alexandre Bompard revealed in a LinkedIn video that the retailer is testing a humanoid robot at its warehouse in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, north of Paris. At this e-commerce delivery site, the robot autonomously moves boxes filled with products using its sensors, microphones, and cameras. This solution is implemented in collaboration with Capgemini Engineering (responsible for the engineering and R&D department).

Similar to service providers like GXO and Amazon, which have already tested or used similar technologies at some sites, Carrefour has added a new element to its artificial intelligence strategy, this time involving physical AI. This is part of the company's "Growth 2030" strategic plan released earlier this year, which aims to improve productivity and reduce costs by further digitizing stores and making broader use of AI agents. "We have always had the same ambition: to use new technologies to serve employees and lighten their workload," said Alexandre Bompard. "In the future, this humanoid robot will be able to assist employees with the most difficult, repetitive, or low-value-added tasks, especially moving heavy items in the warehouse."
