StockBot is an autonomous platform that takes daily inventory in retail stores and warehouses without supervision. The robot combines RFID technology, vision cameras and autonomous navigation to speed up stocktaking and has proved to overcome conventional handheld readers. It eliminates human error and frees up workers' valuable time. StockBot doesn't need any modification of the environment and only requires a first initial set-up. After that, it automatically adapts to any spatial change.

StockBot detects all items and their spatial location, reflecting them in a 3D map, and also provides visual information for further analysis. The platform provides access to applications such as out-of-stock situations and misplacements detection, planogram and price tag checking while enhancing data-driven decisions.

Advantages of Automating inventory-taking with StockBot:

• Quality: Area control without human error

• Time: Faster than human inventory

• Cost: Reduced labour costs and more frequent inventories (daily)
