In the Seoul Museum of Natural History (South Korea) in January 2010 will operate a professional robot guide Docent. The robot will autonomously move to the museum, stopping to give detailed information about specific museum exhibits.

Given that the robot is designed to work with children, his height is 120 cm, and it allows the child to feel comfortable when communicating with the robot.

Work on this project – with a budget of $ 600000 – began in November 2008. Solid budget to include a brigade of several years of professional people, tour guides, but in the long term, such use of robots is likely to pay off.

By the way, we wrote about another robot – a robot Cicerobot, which leads  visitors through the Regional Archaeological Museum Agrigento (Agrigento Regional Archaeological Museum).
