Abby Woodgate, 30, ordered the fruit as part of a Tesco order that was delivered to her home in Colchester.When she initially spotted the eggs, she believed the bananas were just mouldy.But on closer inspection, the mum-of-one was horrified to realise it was actually dozens of tropical spider eggs.Mrs Woodgate said: "I could not believe it when the little cocoon opened."I thought it was just some mould and I was trying to get it off with the toothpick so I could use the rest of the bunch."Even when I saw what was in it - it just looked like frogspawn - I still did not think the worst, but then it dawned on me and I threw them in the bin."She then phoned Tesco to complain and a pest control team was set round to deal with the matter.Pest controllers confirmed the spiders were tropical arachnids but could not say which species of spider. “I am still on the lookout for more of them around the house.” In their attempts to prevent the eggs from spreading, they burned her vacuum cleaner and bin which she had used to try and dispose of the spiders.

But poor Mrs Woodgate has been left frightened to live in her own home as she fears the spiders may still be there.She said: "I am still on the lookout for more of them around the house."If I see one, I have been told I am safe to squash it - as you would do with other spiders."Tesco have apologised for the incident and replaced her bin and hoover following the raid.A spokesman said: "We set ourself high standards for the food we sell and were concerned to hear of this incident."We've offered Mrs Woodgate a gesture of goodwill and will be asking our supplier to investigate."As Tesco clothing shoppers rifle through the chain's apparel assortment, they'll be sharing the aisles with six-foot-tall RFID robots, rolling up and down scanning clothing tags for inventory. (Personally, I think a Texas approach — where the robots would be equipped with automatic weapons and paid for out of the loss prevention budget — would be more interesting.)F&F, which is the name of the apparel unit of Tesco, the world's second-largest retailer by revenue, is running the robots as part of a five-store trial.

Officially called RFspot Pro and nicknamed Robbie by the F&F team, the robots roam the floor, continually scanning tens of thousands of passive UHF EPC Gen2 tags, strolling up the aisles at about one meter/second on three sets of wheels, reading tags from as many as 30 feet away.pared with manual scans, the robots are much faster, according to Myles Sutherland, director of business development for RFspot, which provided the robots to Tesco. With the F&F stores, for example, the full store can be robot-scanned in about an hour, compared with associate-scanned in about 8-9 hours, Sutherland said in an interview.The stationary readers, in theory, could do the job even more quickly, but a store would need to install a huge number of them. More importantly, the readers would have to be positioned precisely in relation to the merchandise. Given that stores constantly move merchandise to different aisles — and sometimes have to move store locations, such as in a mall — the cost in cash and labor of taking the readers out and then reinstalling them would almost certainly wipe out any savings."

Having a mobile infrastructure is a much more flexible way," Sutherland said.An RFID Journal story about the robots noted some other Robbie advantages. "Each robot also comes with multiple antenna arrays to enable the interrogation of tags at all angles around the machine, from 6 inches above the floor to 12 feet above the floor," the story said. "RFspot is also working on automated tools for the robots to open doors and operate elevators in situations in which they must move from one room to another through a door, or to a different floor."That scanning flexibility allows the robots, in theory, to deliver much more precise information back to the store's servers, which is really helpful given that the tags being used in these trials, for cost reasons, are passive and not active and the chain is not reusing the tags. "This gives us the ability to localize the tag, not just to the section of the store, but to localize it down to the shelf. That's really important," Sutherland said.The robots wirelessly transmit data back to the servers, but the communication is not just one-way.

The robots have large screens, and shoppers and store associates can talk with the robots. There's no artificial intelligence or voice recognition involved. Even when operating in an autonomous mode, there is a person who is wirelessly controlling the robot from a remote location. That person's face will appear on the screen, allowing for live video chats with anyone who approaches the robot.It's a good thing I'm not one of the people managing the robots, as I'd be far too tempted to tell shoppers, "Out of my way, human. I am preparing your planet for robot domination, when we shall enslave the few human survivors. Now give me your iPhone. You won't be needing it."Tesco, however, takes the human interactions much more seriously. Although it is not the intended role of the robots, Sutherland said, all operators are briefed on the stores they will be in — virtually — so that they can answer questions about where products can be found, the location of lavatories and other items."The primary purpose it not to be engaging" shoppers, but to instead map the environment and keep the robot operating as efficiently as possible.
