THE CHALLENGE
A clearer path
to the gate.
Unfamiliar terminals and time pressure can make airports difficult to navigate. AeroAssist explores how an approachable robot can connect passenger recognition with clear directions.
The prototype combines face recognition, conversational AI, a touchscreen, and physical gate-pointing.
HOW IT WORKS
From registration to direction.
Recognize
The robot recognizes a registered passenger and greets them.
Guide
It points toward the gate and supports travel questions through its interface.
COLLABORATION
Built as a team.
I worked as a team developer on the project, connecting practical software development with a robotics use case.
AeroAssist was created by Ali Majid, Ali Saadi, Khalid Abdulrahman, and Kozheen Hamza.
The project brought together computer vision, AI interaction, and physical guidance in a working academic prototype.
PROJECT PRESENTATION
Erbil Polytechnic
University.
Presented in 2025
A team project demonstrating how recognition, conversation, and robotic movement can work together to support passengers.
The prototype represents an academic demonstration, with further development needed for a real airport environment.
