Students from Russian city Rostov-on-Don have developed the robot-guide for the coming FIFA World Cup-2018, VistaNews reports. Don State Technical University inventors share that this robot will print tickets, provide consultations and deliver other services to the guests of the World Cup.

Students and their professors worked on this project for more than a year. The robot will be tested this spring: it will conduct a tour in the university. As for now its working language is Russian; but by the beginning of the FIFA World Cup it is going to be programmed into other languages.

It's worth mentioning that the robot-guide can move around with no complications on any surface since it's supported with several sets of wheels. Robot can expand its vocabulary memorizing words its human interlocutors uses.
