Walmart is moving forward with automation in more stores nationwide.

The superstore is adding shelf-stocking robots to 650 stores by the summer, the retailer confirmed to Business Insider. The robots are designed by the San Francisco-based Bossa Nova Robotics Inc. and made to scan items on shelves to assist with price accuracy and restocking. The robots are already present in 350 stores.

The six-foot-tall devices contain 15 cameras each, which scan aisles and shelves and send alerts to employees in real time.
