Robots Join the Staff: HIVE Robots on the NRF Innovation Stage in Paris

Charlotte Blou Sand, Co-founder & CEO of HIVE Robots, will present on the Innovation Stage at NRF 2026: Retail's Big Show Europe, 15–17 September 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The session is titled "Robots Join the Staff: Humanoid Shelf Replenishment as a Service from HIVE Robots".

Retail can't hire enough people to replenish shelves at night. HIVE Robots' answer: a humanoid robot that joins the staff, works the night shift from 21:00 to 07:00, and is paid by the hour. We deliver the service, all included.

The model is being proven right now inside a live Føtex store with strategic partner Salling Group, and we are ready to add new customers. Simon Kudsk, Operations Director at Føtex, joins with a recorded video giving the retailer's view.

On this stage, HIVE Robots announces for the first time that it is opening for retail partnerships across Europe.
