Goodbye Retail Associates, Hello Robots

The future of shopping has arrived, and its not human.

Not only do robots cost less than humans, they don't complain, they speak multiple languages, and most importantly, by scanning aisles they know where every item is in the store and can take you straight to it.

Meet "OSHbot"



OSHbot is the newest member of the "Fellow Robots" family, and developed in partnership with Lowes Innovation Labs.

The future of shopping has arrived

Retail Robotics is an exciting and fast growing new market and Fellow Robots is at the forefront. Advances in sensors, wireless networking, voice recognition and design prototyping are enabling us to build the smart retail robots that can autonomously navigate through stores, help communicate with customers to understand what they need and locate it quickly.

OSHbot incorporates the latest of these advanced technologies. For example, a customer may bring in a spare part and scan the object using OSHbot’s 3D sensing camera. After scanning and identifying the object, OSHbot will provide product information to the customer and guide them to its location on store shelves.

OSHbot Specs

  • Front Screen: 19.5 inches
  • Back Screen: 29 inches
  • Height: 5 ft
  • Weight: 85 pounds


OSHbot Technologies

Making Science Fiction a Reality

The robot will come up to you and say, in a pleasant tone "Hello I am OSHBot, your store robot helper. What can I help you with."

Show OSHbot a screw, it will scan the item and take to to the exact match or tell you if it's out of stock. Not even the most knowledgeable human clerk can do that.

OSHbot Experience

Would you rather deal with an associate who may be unfriendly and typically does not know where things are, or OSHbot?

I would take OSHbot 7 days a week.

I suspect so would most. And even if you wouldn't, it's guaranteed to happen anyway. Robots do not complain, they show up on time, they want to help, they don't ask for overtime, they do not need medical insurance, Social Security, or pensions.

All of the greeters and helpers at WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot, Target, and retailers in general will give way to "Fellow Robots". And that will happen sooner than anyone realizes.
