Travellers passing through the departures area of Glasgow Airport this Christmas would have been able to enjoy her company. GLA dys entertained passengers with Christmas songs and festive tales. Furthermore, she had a built-in selfie-camera so that anyone wanting to could take a photo with her\u00a0and send it to their email address.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <section class=\"image-section \" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container container--narrow container--p-10\">\n        <figure class=\"image-section__figure\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.newsroom.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/15152845\/airport_robot_send008.jpg\" title=\"AIRPORT_ROBOT_SEND008\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-section__image\">\n                            <figcaption class=\"image-section__caption\">\n                    Glasgow has proved once again it has an AI for technology with today\u00d5s introduction of GLAdys \u00d0 the UK\u00d5s first humanoid robot airport ambassador.\n\nState-of- the-art GLAdys, whose name comes from Glasgow\u00d5s International Air Transport\n\nAssociation (IATA) code, will be based in the main departures area and has initially been programmed to entertain passengers of all ages as they pass through the airport.\n\nChloe Fortune, 8 gets a selfie taken with GLAdys                <\/figcaption>\n                    <\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <section class=\"wysiwyg text-editor \" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container container--narrow container--p-10\">\n            <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">GLA dys looks quite different from the most well-known robots. Her movement capabilities are far greater than those of R2D2, her style is more sophisticated than that of WALL -E, and her manners are much more refined than those of Bender from Futurama. GLA dys\u2019s design is based on that of Pepper, the first humanoid robot able to recognise human emotions and adapt his behaviour to the mood of his interlocutor. The new member of the Glasgow Airport team was a huge success during the seven weeks that she spent at the airport. This first act of contact made it possible to gauge the reaction of passengers when faced with an \u201cassistant\u201d with such unique characteristics. GLA dys will be returning to the airport facilities in June, after acquiring new skills conceived of with an improved passenger experience in mind. These functionalities will, furthermore, be able to adapt to any surroundings, in such a way that new GLA dys robots will be able to \u201ccollaborate\u201d at other airports.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <section class=\"image-section \" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container container--narrow container--p-10\">\n        <figure class=\"image-section__figure\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.newsroom.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/15152845\/airport_robot_send002.jpg\" title=\"AIRPORT_ROBOT_SEND002\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-section__image\">\n                            <figcaption class=\"image-section__caption\">\n                    Glasgow has proved once again it has an AI for technology with today\u2019s introduction of GLAdys \u2013 the UK\u2019s first humanoid robot airport ambassador.\n\nState-of- the-art GLAdys, whose name comes from Glasgow\u2019s International Air Transport\n\nAssociation (IATA) code, will be based in the main departures area and has initially been programmed to entertain passengers of all ages as they pass through the airport.\n\nAirport Ambassadors Brian Thomson and May Ottoway dance with GLAdys                <\/figcaption>\n                    <\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <section class=\"wysiwyg text-editor \" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container container--narrow container--p-10\">\n            <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">GLA dys is part of the Digital Passenger Experience Project which is being carried out by Ferrovial Airports and Glasgow Airport,in collaboration with Ferrovial\u2019s Digital Hub and the Department for Information Systems and Innovation, with the aim of improving passenger experience through digital technology. This goal is representative of the commitment of Ferrovial Airports and Glasgow Airport. In fact, GLA dys is not the first digital \u201cmember\u201d of the Scottish airport\u2019s team. In 2015 it took on \u201cHolly the Hologram\u201d, a virtual assistant offering practical information and advice to travellers in order to pass through security and passport control without any hitches.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":128900,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","nivel-2":[2786,2942,2972,2954,2791,2896],"nivel-5":[2927],"nivel-1":[2784],"nivel-3":[2801],"nivel-4":[],"class_list":["post-128899","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nivel-2-airport-infrastructure-en-us","nivel-2-communication-en-us","nivel-2-customer-services-en-us","nivel-2-facilities-en-us","nivel-2-innovation-en-us","nivel-2-robotics-en-us","nivel-5-heathrow-airport-en-us","nivel-1-airports-en-us","nivel-3-uk-en-us"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>GLAdys, a robot with a heart - Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sala de prensa Ferrovial | \u00daltimas noticias\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"GLAdys, a robot with a heart - Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sala de prensa Ferrovial | \u00daltimas noticias\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/airport_robot_send003.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"4928\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"3045\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/\",\"name\":\"GLAdys, a robot with a heart - Ferrovial\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/static.newsroom.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/15134406\/airport_robot_send003.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-02-28T23:01:56+00:00\",\"description\":\"Sala de prensa Ferrovial | \u00daltimas noticias\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/newsroom.ferrovial.com\/en-us\/articles\/gladys-a-robot-with-heart\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/static.newsroom.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/15134406\/airport_robot_send003.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/static.newsroom.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/15134406\/airport_robot_send003.jpg\",\"width\":4928,\"height\":3045,\"caption\":\"Glasgow has proved once again it has an AI for technology with today\u00d5s introduction of GLAdys \u00d0 the UK\u00d5s first humanoid robot airport ambassador.
