Diving into Retail with a Humanoid Robot: Our First Adventure

By removing all shoes from the shelves, eObuwie.pl has done the opposite to what most shoe stores do. They have taken the success of their online eCommerce to the next level by opening innovative brick-and-mortar stores where customers can shop by browsing on tablets and waiting 3 minutes for a delivery of shoes to try on from the warehouse. Their latest store opening took place in Gdańsk on the last weekend of June, and this time Snowdog team was there with Pepper robot to make a first step towards implementing a humanoid robot in retail.

Embarking on our journey with Pepper - the robot in the realm of conferences

Our first steps with Pepper were like investigating an opponent on the battlefield: in theory, we knew what we were dealing with but we were not sure what the capabilities were of such a creature. We dived straight into brainstorming how we could take advantage of Pepper’s features to help our clients. Once Pepper became a part of our team, like any other developer and PM in the office we had fun pursuing the opportunities for use cases and solutions in our areas of interest.
