Robot to train Dubai public transport drivers

Monday, 25 November 2019 12:30

The training of public transport drivers in Dubai is getting a high-tech makeover.

An A.I.-powered robot is being used by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) for delivering traffic awareness lectures and theory classes.

The device is configured with learning materials and can also handle the queries of trainees.

Officials say the initiative is aimed at ensuring that training sessions are more engaging and interactive.
