A device federal public servants call “the little robot” began appearing in Gatineau office buildings in March.
It travels through the workplace to collect data using about 20 sensors and a 360-degree camera, according to Yahya Saad, co-founder of GlobalDWS, which created the robot.
“Using AI on the robot, the camera takes the picture, analyzes and counts the number of people and then discards the image,” he said.
