"Troniq" LLC received a "Startup" certificate from the Small and Medium Business Development Agency (KOBIA) for the production and sale of 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. It is also possible to organize a forum on these mobile TVs with remote control. The TV determines how many men and women are standing in front of each screen, their ages, and divides those people into age groups and reports on the result.
"The robot determines where it is walking in its mind. It has 8 cameras, it sees everywhere and analyzes in its mind whether, for example, it can go through this door or not. If he cannot pass, he finds another alternative way for himself. The robot walks continuously for about 4 hours, and as soon as its energy drops to 20 percent, it starts to collect its own energy. After recharging for an hour, he continues walking again. There is no alternative to this smart system yet," said A. Nabiyev, adding that the robot is considered a purely Azerbaijani product. Although there are products similar to this robot in other countries, we only have such an advertising robot: "This robot has already been used in a number of events held in Azerbaijan. For example, they made an advertising video clip on the topic of the events held in "Asan xidmet" and the Baku Expo Center and put it on the robot's TV screen. "Azfarma" company also advertised its medicines and other products through a robot at its event. Advertising can be prepared on any topic."
The director of MMC noted that it is more appropriate to use the robot in a closed space, because although it can walk in the open air, it does not work effectively if the sun rays fall on it. For this reason, the device can only be used outdoors in the evening. According to the startup, all manufacturers and traders can publish their ads in the robot they have developed. The selling price of the robot, which weighs about 200 kg, is 160,000 manats, and it is rented for 2,000 manats daily: "The first device was presented almost a year ago, but it took 6 years to prepare it. If there is an order, I can still make it. State institutions also show serious interest in this device and invite it to events."
