NEW YORK—Walmart is laying off the robots it had deployed in about 500 stores to keep tabs on what’s on and not on the shelves.
The retailer said Monday it has ended its relationship with startup Bossa Nova Robotics, which builds roving robots equipped with cameras for identifying out-of-stock and misplaced products.
