Emirates airline introduces a robot for passenger check-in

Emirates airline based in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) presented a portable robot for passenger registration.

This was reported by Gulf News, Ukrinform reports.

The robot, named Sarah, will be deployed at the check-in counters at the Emirates terminal at Dubai International Airport. She “knows” five to seven languages, including Arabic, she.

“I think we are the first airline in the world to introduce a handheld check-in robot. The robot can complete the passenger check-in process, including the issuance of the boarding pass, which will be sent to the passenger’s registered mobile phone number or email address,” Emirates COO Adel Al Redha said.

He also added that the device can scan both biometric data and other important passport details.

“So you can go through passport control, then go to boarding or lounge without showing your documents anymore,” Al Redha said.

According to him, after the launch of the pilot program, the airline plans to deploy at least 200 such robots in the coming years.

As Ukrinform reported, American technology company Maya AI has developed a robot with artificial intelligence that can communicate.
