See moreAt a Mark's retail store in British Columbia, a pilot version of the humanoid "Phoenix" was tested, performing 110 tasks typically associated with retail operations. The robot is expected to promptly work in front and back-of-store activities such as picking and packing merchandise, cleaning, tagging, labeling, folding, and more. For each task, the researchers collected an extensive behavioral data study to increase higher quality and fidelity to match human standards of perceiving duties. This marked the first instance of Phoenix being utilized in an actual store setting.
