French sports equipment retailer Decathlon has partnered with US Robotics to use AI-fitted robots for product management at its San Francisco store. Built with radio frequency identification technology, US's Tally robot will automatically scan shelves and track inventory being moved across the shop. The innovation will allow human staff to focus on customer service, while Tally will also generate heat-maps of the best-selling products through its data collection. The announcement comes just six months after Decathlon opened its first bricks and mortar locations in the Simbe.
