Robots developed in Perm have been spotted in the largest shopping centers in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).
On the company's website, they are advertised as robotic waiters, disinfectants, promoters, guides, consultants, but in the UAE they plan to use the domestic development to maintain order in the territories of the largest shopping centers.
According to the developers, their robot has successfully worked abroad for a whole year. In the UAE police, he was engaged in patrolling, video surveillance of store visitors, and also measured body temperature of visitors and sellers.
A carbon fiber robot on a platform like a Chinese vacuum cleaner, stuffed with electronics and cameras, also learned to speak English and Arabic.
The Arabs liked it so much that they decided to use it also in the police departments of Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
Note that the Russian development has competitors in Japan and China. The cost of such robots is more than a million rubles.
But the sheikhs are not worried about these prices: they plan to use as many robots as possible as electronic sentries: they are going to upload electronic databases with digital photographs of migrants and tourists to them.
It is known that all those entering the UAE undergo a mandatory biometrics procedure at the state border. Thanks to this base, police robots will be able to recognize visitors on the streets of the UAE.
