Dublin Airport's new AI luggage robots: Handler Bing and Sir Bot A Lot

Artificial intelligence has landed at Dublin Airport with new robot handlers to help people with their bags.

Four robots are now available in Terminal 1 to help people with disabilities or additional needs to their gate, making stops to shops and the toilet on the way.

Each of the robotic recruits will carry up to two cabin bags and have space for additional belongings to take the weight off passengers who use them.

The robots will be based after security in Terminal 1 and will be able to carry bags and guide passengers to their boarding gates in Pier 1. This is the longest walk a Terminal 1 passenger can make after security.

Handler Bing and Sir Bot A Lot are some of the robots being tested out.

A video shared by Dublin Aiport on social media shows one of the robots in action.

In the video the robot says: “Please take your bags, close the doors and select done on my screen. Thank you for using the Dublin Airport bots. I’m heading back to the bot spot now, have a safe flight.”
