A Russian dealer of computer equipment, Bion, has recently deployed a domestic humanoid robot to serve as a security guard and concierge at one of its Moscow-area offices. Promobot, the developer of the android, shared the milestone with socialbites.ca, highlighting how the robot will greet visitors and manage access control for the site.
The robot is equipped with an integrated access control and management system that enables visitors to scan their passports and verify data against the company’s database of employees and approved guests. If a person does not have access rights at that moment, the machine can prompt visitors to call the secretary for verification. A video link allows the secretary to confirm the identity and purpose of the visit, after which the secretary can authorize the robot to permit entry.
In practice, the robot issues temporary access passes, scans passports, and checks document authenticity. It then gains entry to the facility and can engage visitors in conversations about a range of topics. Promobot’s chairman, Aleksey Yuzhakov, emphasizes that the robot performs the duties of a receptionist without requiring a salary, making the cost of replacing a human receptionist with the robot appear favorable over roughly six months of operation.
The project underscores growing interest in automated front-desk solutions and how humanoid robotics can handle routine security and hospitality tasks. The use of such technology at corporate sites aims to streamline visitor management, reduce turnaround times for check-ins, and provide continuous, standardized customer service, even during peak hours.
The report notes broader industry developments, including recent experiments by Canadian engineers who developed a compact worm-like robot intended for use in surgical operations. This context highlights a global trend toward deploying specialized robots in both everyday business operations and more technical fields, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, sensors, and networked access control systems.
