Robovie cameras crowd monitoringThis humanoid is apparently allowed to run amok at Universal Citywalk Osaka as the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute tests out its ability to interpret signals from cameras, sensors and RFID readers and determine which patrons are thoroughly lost.

When it recognizes a stumped individual, it wheels over, confirms their state of confusion and politely offers directions to their destination of choice.
