Could make going to B&Q more fun

If every one who work there was called Robert

It might just work, as long as a real customer care person had absolutely no input into its programming .

In our local B&Q the staff are as thick as it gets, so that would definitely be an improvement.

Mind you, round here they'd probably nick the robot!

I can see B&Q going for this. Already out local store has only self check outs so this should fite right in.

I'm waiting to be handed the keys to a forklift and asked to uload the delivery lorry

Sorry to say, B&Q are not the most IT literate company I have ever come across and suspect they will be among the last to deploy something like this.

Having said that, Robert is fun but just a demo and way too expensive for everyday use - great concept though and the same logic in an app on your phone or a screen on your trolley (think of the Waitrose handheld scanners) and you have the same solution in an affordable manner. Google Now probably provides 95% of the solution already...

Personally, I can't wait...
