Russian Railways (RZD) holding company plans to introduce robot porters to train stations to help passengers carry their hand luggage. This proposal was introduced as part of efforts to improve service at train stations and optimize the baggage handling process.
The robot carrier will be able to automatically follow the passenger using sensors and computer vision. To manage this and pay for the service, passengers will need to install special software on their smartphones.
This innovative technology will speed up and reduce the cost of baggage handling services. According to plans, 50 such assistant robots will be introduced to the stations of the Moscow and North-Western regional railway station directorates, which will make passenger services more efficient.
