Robots have been used in so many different functions nowadays. For example, there are robots that help people to clean houses, order food, carry things for you, and also serve your order directly to you. Such a great thing that technologies can do to help us.
Another astonishing thing that a robot could do would be to deliver ‘khutbah’ easily. This is another level of technology that was actually created in Saudi Arabia. This ‘khutbah’ delivered by the modern robot comes directly from the imams and also muezzins.
Much more convenient for so many people young and old. This robot has a large screen so people can see the information directly for those who are searching. Saudi Arabia introduces this robot to help pilgrims read the Quran, sermons, and also messages.
At the same time, this robot will also provide a special bar code. That is to allow the congregation to download a number of services directly to their own smartphone. This robot also comes with the support of a voice-based virtual assistant so that the congregation can request information related to the imam, weekly schedule, information related to prayer, and many others.
As stated by several local media reports, the government of Saudi Arabia wants every pilgrim who visits Masjidil al-Haram to get a high-quality service. Such a thoughtful idea and also an alternative done by the government of Saudi Arabia. Hope it lasts long.
