Retail fulfilment depends on manual labour for the 'last 30 metres' tasks of getting products from backroom storage onto shelves and into orders, including shelf restocking, stock rotation, and order picking. These tasks require physical presence and real-time awareness of shelf conditions, which is costly and labor-intensive to maintain at scale. The page implies retailers currently lack real-time shelf intelligence and the ability to act on it automatically.

Theseus Robotics is developing humanoid robots designed to operate in retail environments, handling shelf restocking, stock rotation, and order picking. The system is built to provide real-time shelf intelligence and to act on that information directly, combining sensing and physical manipulation in one platform. The company is currently offering a private preview of its technology rather than a general release.
