Ahmedabad: Looking for assistance at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport? Don’t be surprised if a robot does the job for you! Mitra, a five-foot humanoid robot developed by a Bengaluru-based firm, is now being tested for passenger assistance at the SVPI airport in Ahmedabad.
Sources confirmed that the humanoid robot was tested only to welcome and greet passengers at the city airport on Wednesday. However, in days to come, testing will also be conducted to provide passenger assistance. “For instance, if a passenger wants directions to the washroom or simply check for flight status or boarding gate number, s/he can approach the robot for the information,” said a well-placed source at SVPI airport.
The testing is expected to continue for at least a week. Once done, city airport authorities will review its functioning and may decide on its deployment for further use.
