MallBots
A quaint novelty that appears to be more of a showcase of what it looks like when real people use real bots in real space. Having apps that help you navigate the layout of where you’re shopping would be a lot more exciting if it were at places that were more likely to require human presence, like a super market (because I’ve spent more time looking for the correct aisle than I have figuring out which organic, USDA approved coconut oil my wife asked me to pick up). There will likely always be people who prefer, or need, the immediacy of purchases at the mall, but if people are going to start looking at an app to find out what they need, they already have Amazon if they can wait two days. --BA
