Lufthansa Munich robot
Feb. 24th, 2018 10:23 amI just interacted with this lady:
Asked her 4 questions about my flight, gate and terminal. 3 questions she did not understand, and one she misunderstood. The main problem was acoustics: instead of placing a decent mic array like in Alexa or Google device, they put there something that looks like an arduino microphone! No, really! The robot does nto work on it's own: there are two ladies helping. They told me that I should speak to the mic, but when I am too far it does not hear me, and when I am too close, there are acoustic distortions because of that cheap mic.
No way these devices will conquer us! (or take our jobs :))
