The Chennai Airport on Wednesday introduced humanoid robots to perform a variety of actions, including greeting passengers and responding to queries, "deciphering variances in accent."
Two such bots were introduced today on a 'trial' basis, one each positioned at the Arrival and Departure sections in the domestic terminal.
