News Summary

• A San Francisco-based startup named PitPro Automation recently installed a tire-changing robot in a Calgary tire shop.
• The device features two cube-shaped robots that move along a track and use sensors and robotic arms to locate and store lug nuts.
• PitPro is looking to put more of its technology in chain stores, since their layouts are more standardized and they can help the company with mass deployment.
• The company also has an eye on the Canadian market, where changing tires as winter comes and goes is a common practice.
