context_page_description: Bossa Nova Robotics is a startup robotics company that manufactures inventory control robots for use in retail stores. They are best known for supplying these robots to Walmart stores, in their effort to better compete with Amazon.
  Their Auto-S line of robots scans store shelves by beaming light on them and snapping photos using 2D and 3D cameras, as well as utilizing lidar to navigate and detect if anything is stocked in a shelf. From this it can detect out-of-stock items, incorrect prices, and other irregularities more efficiently and accurately than a human.
