The VR-controlled Model-T robot is built to help retailers stock shelves (Credit: Telexistence Inc.)

Faced with a declining population and shrinking workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the androids have been deployed to perform a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care and companionship for the elderly. The latest addition to the Japanese "workforce" may be Model-T. This seven-foot-tall robot is currently undergoing trials restocking sandwiches, drinks, and ready meals on shelves at select locations of local convenience store chains Lawson and FamilyMart.

                    creepy. we don't need robots taking over the world and it would be faster to do this yourself.

                      If you think this is creepy, would you rather have a human replica restocking food in stores? Robots are taking over, but it is better than it seems. Robots are taking over jobs that are either dangerous, or not wanted("boring" jobs). The robot in the video as you said, is crazy slow. If you had read the article you would have seen in paragraph 6 it says, "Telexistence is working to improve the limitations and hopes to introduce a faster, more agile Model-T within the next two years". After reading this you may have noticed that this first version must have been a prototype, as it is. Technology is advancing, at a quick rate! Soon there will be a faster, more agile version of this. As said in the text, when the artificial intelligence capable of running this machine comes out, a person will no longer need to control it. Therefore there would be more of these working and I stores it would cost much less money then to hire a person. To get one of these robots would have a grea effect.
