It also serves a more practical purpose of testing how robots operate in public-facing environments, where visitor behaviour is less predictable, and expectations around safety and usability are higher.
Science Centre Singapore has introduced six robots into its galleries to perform roles typically handled by staff, including guiding visitors and ushering.
The pilot gives visitors a chance to see how robotics can support learning and engagement in a public setting, while allowing the organisation to assess how the technology shapes visitor experience over time.
