Developers from Perm presented the anthropomorphic (human-like) robot "Ardi" (RDI) at the "Russia" exhibition, which takes place at VDNKh in Moscow. The smiling and winking android delighted visitors of the forum.
RDI is the brainchild of the companies "Promobot" and "Double W Expo". It is known that the robot was created on the basis of Robo-C using Motion Capture technologies (we are talking about animatronic robots that copy human facial expressions and gestures).
Work on it lasted about a year. Perm developers say they are ready to send RDI into mass production.
According to the information presented on the "Promobot" website, the company produces robots that perform the functions of a concierge, consultant, promoter, guide, administrator, diagnostician. The robot communicates with a person thanks to the implemented artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
Androids move independently and get charged when their battery is discharged. "Promobot" specialists provide technical support for robots.
Earlier it was reported that at the end of 2022, robot sales in the hospitality sector (tourism, entertainment) increased by 125%. Users around the world are also showing interest in service robots.
