Roger is the resident robot at Germany's new Future Store, in Toenisvorst, near Dusseldorf in western Germany.
The robot can help you with anything in the store too.
They have also added a new "self-serve" system where you can use your mobile phone to shop. All you need is the downloadable software that the shop give you to put onto your phone, then you take a picture of the barcode with your phone and when you tell it you've finished, it will give you one barcode to use at the end. When you scan it, it will tell you how much you have to pay.
Quite handy?
see what I did there? handy is German for mobile ;D
