Walmart brings in robots to work alongside staff in bid for 'more efficient system'
By creating these high tech warehouses, Walmart hopes to create more jobs and impact their delivery services.
Walmart warehouse in Texas uses robots to help staff
A new Walmart center in Katy, Texas is buzzing with robots, helping human workers to speed up deliveries.
The retail giant has been trialing this cutting-edge tech at their latest warehouse.
After an online order comes in, the robots get to work, picking out the products and delivering them to a workstation where a human colleague checks everything over before shipping it off.
Muayad Bahaj, a Walmart Robotics system operator, said: "Kind of nice to see that it's not eliminating jobs.
"It's helping create more jobs and helping establish a more efficient system for everybody and it kind of makes everybody's life a lot easier."

"Indiana is proud to welcome this next-generation Walmart fulfillment center, which represents a significant investment in our industry and our people," said Ann Lathrop, chief strategy officer of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.
