Woof Woof Auto Trolley is the latest offering by Boston Dynamics.

Instead of a rusting trolley with wheels that have a mind of their own, you swipe your credit card to activate one of these Boston Dynamic mechanical wonders which begins your new shopping experience by dutifully following you around. Now equipped with a pair of articulated arms, and featuring a large trollet basket on its back, Woof Woof Auto Trolley will respond obediently to your every (reasonable) command.

"Fetch me a large bag of Tayto Cheese and onion" and Woof Woof Auto Trolley trots off to retrieve the item of desire, using its comprehensive understanding of the store's product layout and stock level, all moderated with ai feeback software. Back it comes, product in basket as you continue to browse the shelves for a new untried pasta shape.

Naturally there is no queuing up to pay either with Woof Woof Auto Trolley, which will total and bill you automatically then follow you out to your car to help you load your shopping before returning to its dock/resting station ready for the next customer.

Now equipped with a wagging "happy indicator tail" Woof Woof Auto Trolley will also remember you on your next visit and can go into a full "auto-fetch what I got last time" mode.

       Based on the volume of crap I see some people buying from some places, a robodog won't always cut it. There will need to be options, from "dog" up to "ox team".
