An advertising robot working with artificial intelligence (AI) was developed for the first time in Azerbaijan 15.05.24

The "Troniq" LLC has been awarded with the certificate "Startup" by the Small and Medium Business Development Agency (KOBİA) for manufacturing and marketing an advertising robot.

According to the director of MMC Anar Nabiyev, the robot with 4 TVs on which advertisements can be placed, made on the basis of artificial intelligence, walks without encountering any obstacles based on a digital map, collects energy and stops energy collection. These mobile televisions, remotely controlled, can also be utilized for conducting forums. The televisions are capable of detecting the number of men and women in front of each screen, their age, and organizing them into age groups, providing reports on the results. "The robot independently determines its route. It is equipped with eight cameras, allowing it to see its surroundings and analyze whether it can pass through a particular door.

Should it fail to pass, it finds another alternative way for itself. The robot can operate uninterruptedly for approximately four hours, and when its battery level drops to 20%, it begins to recharge itself. After an hour of charging, the robot resumes its operation. “There is no alternative to this smart system yet," emphasized A. Nabiyev, adding that the robot is considered an entirely Azerbaijani product. Although there are products similar to this robot in other countries, we only have such an advertising robot. The robot has already been utilized at several events in Azerbaijan, such as in "ASAN xidmet" centers and at events held at the Baku Expo Center, where advertising videos relevant to the event topics were displayed on the robot's screens. "Azfarma" company also advertised its medicines and other products through a robot at its event. Advertising can be produced on any desired theme. The director of LLC noted that it is rather practical to use the robot indoors because while it can operate outdoors, its effectiveness diminishes if the sun rays fall on it. Therefore, the device can only be used outdoors in the evening. According to the startup founder, all manufacturers and traders can utilize the robot to broadcast their advertisements. Weighing approximately 200 kg, the robot is priced at 160,000 manats for purchase and can be rented for 2,000 manats per day. The first device was introduced nearly a year ago, although its development took six years."If orders are placed, I can produce more. Government agencies are also expressing significant interest in this device and are inviting it to events.
