Supermarket robot escapes store

A robotic supermarket assistant made a great escape from a #Pennsylvania store.

Marty, a robot known to the regulars at the Giant Food in #Hellertown, decided to leave the store and head across the parking lot.

The tall, thin robot on wheels with "googly eyes" has been used by the store for several years. Its job is inside the store and usually consists of identifying spills or other hazards.

Giant Food Store started deploying robots in all 172 of its stores. This is the first known instance of a runaway robot.

A spokesperson for the supermarket told FOX5NY that "Marty was just getting a little fresh air."
