Thailand's retailers and malls develop robots to adapt to post-COVID world
Tops Market, a supermarket chain in Bangkok, placed a robot at the front of the store that can read customers' temperatures then trigger an alarm and deny entry if it is too high. The device was developed by Central Tech, a subsidiary of Central Group, the largest retailer in Thailand. Using facial recognition technology, the monitor also sounds an alarm and prevents customers from entering if they are not wearing masks.
