In January 2017, Intel announced a $100 million initiative for the retail industry at the NRF 2017 retail show. Part of this event was a demonstration of a mobile robot called Tally that used a combination of RealSense and Lidar scanning to navigate round a store and check the stock on shelves.

Two years on in January 2019's NRF show, Intel has introduced the open-source Open Retail Initiative.
