Uniqlo NY will have robot shopping guides

The UNIQLO SoHo store in NY will soon be the first Manhattan shopping venue to have humanoid robots walking around to help you find stuff. Wakamaru the Robot was created by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with the initial intent of helping elderly people. He makes his stateside debut around the second week of September.
