KLM's new airport robot Care-E will guide you to the gate
You can have an airport travel assistant of your very own thanks to KLM. Care-E, a bright-blue "self-driving trolley," is being tested by the airline and will be rolled out at New York's JFK and San Francisco International airports sometime in 2018. Though Care-E is the product of a Dutch airline, you won't need to speak Dutch -- or English, for that matter -- to operate the robot. According to KLM, Care-E uses "a variety of familiar nonverbal sounds" to interact with travellers. To get started, Care-E will scan your boarding pass. From there, according to KLM, the robot can carry up to 85 pounds of luggage and travel alongside you at about 3 mph (the average human walking pace). Thanks to AI technology, Care-E will be able to access real-time data. For example, it'll know if your gate changes and be able to redirect you accordingly. <br/>
