The bots "swarm" around a giant cube filled with grocery products, a kind of hive that's as wide as a football field. Robots won't just speed up delivery and bring down prices, though - they'll also improve on warehouse technology that Ocado is selling to other grocery firms. No surprise Ocado's robotics team is under pressure to put their innovations to work quickly. The robotics team are based inside Ocado's first-ever fulfilment centre in Hatfield, North London. Industrial robots are typically designed to pick up one thing well, like uniform bottles of water or tubes of toothpaste.
