See moreA demonstration using Kebbi Air, a robot programmed by Nagoya International Technical Vocational University students, attracted kids and families who visited Hisaya-odori Park. This test aimed to guide visitors around the city of Nagoya and introduce them to the stores in the park. The students design the content to entertain visitors, such as quiz that let people discover more about the city. Unfortunately, it was too windy outside to make verbal communication smooth, and the noise of the wind sometimes drown out human-robot conversation. Despite the challenge, the participants remained enthusiastic and enjoyed communication with robots through touching and talking, that made students more motivated to improve the contents.
