Robot greeter in Seoul airport

When I was traveling through Seoul back in mid-Nov I came across this autonomous robot at the Seoul airport. My impression was it was meant to be an airport greeter for departing passengers and to provide real-time information about flights, locations and amenities via an interactive touchscreen interface. Pretty cool. (more)

@yaskulka We should have robots to take over some jobs but keep humans working in the industry in other jobs.

@onebroke240sx Don't be excited about these silly robotic innovations. I would much prefer real human greeting me and this would keep jobs as well. With this progress very soon you won't see real cashier - everything is going to be self-service: then what? Your sister is going to loose job, my sister is going to loose job, my brother... Not fun anymore, is it?

Well I hate to say it but "domo-arigato Mr. roboto!"

Why didn't they have this in Inchon Airport? Or I never saw it...
