Express Avenue, run by the Express Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, today launched a robot "EA BOT" aimed at enhancing customer experience of visitors to the shopping mall.
The EA-BOT, a five-feet robot, is equipped with 22-inch screen that will help the guests visiting the mall get access to details of stores, directions, deals of the day offered by various shops, a press release said.
The 85kg robot will roam around the central atrium of Express Avenue mall located at Royapettah in the city. EA BOT is automatic and has a specific perimeter and travel zone, it said.
