India’s first Constitution Museum to have semi-humanoid guide robot

The interactive robot will provide visitors a guided tour of the museum

It will be a first on two counts — India will soon have a Constitution Museum, which is coming up at the OP Jindal Global University (JGU) Campus in Sonipat in Haryana; and, visitors to the museum will be assisted by the country’s first museum tour guide robot.

A prototype of the robot was showcased at a press meet on Wednesday.

The university in collaboration with IIT Madras has developed the semi-humanoid guide robot for the newly established Constitution museum and the Rights and Freedoms Academy at the JGU campus. The initiative celebrates 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution of India and will be inaugurated on November 26.

The robot will provide enhanced visitor engagement through advanced technology called SAMVID (Smart Assistant for Museum Visitors and Interactive Display).
