The robots, which go by the names Sir Bot a Lot, Bilbot Baggins, Handler Bing, and K2DC, are now in trial mode at Terminal 1.

After security, travellers may use an iPad to summon a robot, which will arrive to greet them. After the passenger's bags are inside, they may instruct the robot which gate to deliver them to via a touchscreen. After that, the robot will direct the traveller to their gate.

“Our goal is to assist travellers who require additional assistance while navigating the airport,” Corrin Foley, a member of the robot innovation team, stated to RTÉ News.

“We discovered that travellers prefer to navigate the airport on their own. They desire to keep their independence. Passengers may complete the trip on their own with the robots' assistance, just a little bit more aid.”

Work being done in the airport's innovation area led to the creation of the robot project.
