Navigating an airport while trying to find your boarding gate and carrying heavy carry-on luggage can be stressful even for frequent travellers.

It's something that Dutch airline KLM recognises and hopes it can help with by deploying a robot that can guide travellers and carry your bags to the correct gate.

It'll even stop off at the duty free shop on the way if you ask it to.

The robot, called Care-E, is a bright blue 'self driving trolley' that has been developed by the carrier and comes with AI technology.

To use the robot, passengers simply scan their boarding pass and can place luggage up to 85 pounds on the machine.

It uses a variety of sounds to interact with passengers and even has what appears to be a face.

To use the robot, passengers simply scan their boarding pass and place luggage up to 85 pounds on the machine.

It will then make its way towards the appropriate boarding gate at a speed of three miles per hour, meaning passengers can walk alongside it.

If passengers want to stop off at the bathroom or browse the shops in duty free, it can be programmed to wait for them.

The world is moving forward while we are stuck with a certificateless nomadic octagenarian who decided to follow the bush path with cattles instead of going to school. Very very unfortunate

There is something sexy about innovations!

wow. that's good, it's less stressful

That is developing country, looking toward Nigeria too

Nigerians will steal the robot.

Civilized societies think about ideas and implement their ideas while the uncivilized countries think of ideas and "pray' for the ideas to come into fruition. Mediocrity is a way of life in Nigeria and doesn't seem like the trend's changing any time soon. @Explorers...Nice thread as always.

BeeBeeOoh:

KLM’s latest airport robot concept Care-E can take passengers to their gate.

Called Care-E, the robot is described by the company as “a self-driving trolley that is not only extremely helpful, with a great personality and a heart of gold”.

Designed to meet passengers behind security, Care-E can scan boarding passes and carry baggage while leading customers to their gate.

If there is a gate change, Care-E has the ability to adjust accordingly.

Designed to know the airport by heart, another function of Care-E’s design is the ability to guide passengers with time on their hands to other places, such as food courts, shops or the nearest bathroom.

When the flight begins boarding, the robot will alert the passenger.

A reminder of the robot room service in some hotels in the US.
