The introduction of this robot, unveiled by Mohammed Al Hammadi, Senior Customs Controller at Abu Dhabi Customs, represents a significant step forward in the quest for enhanced traveller experiences. This technologically advanced robot is poised to play a pivotal role in streamlining the customs process.

One of the most remarkable features of this AI-powered marvel is its ability to efficiently gather comprehensive traveller information.
