The Presidency for Religious Affairs Innovates with Smart Guidance Robot

Over the years, the process of addressing religious inquiries and issuing fatwas at the two holy mosques has undergone remarkable advancements. What began with traditional fatwa chairs and old telephones has now transitioned into the realm of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI). The latest innovation in this domain is the introduction of a smart guidance robot at the Grand Mosque, developed by The Presidency for Religious Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.

This smart robot is designed to provide fatwa services and respond to religious queries in an impressive total of 11 languages. The Presidency's commitment to leveraging modern technology and AI to enhance services for pilgrims is evident through the utilization of smart robots to aid with rituals and offer electronic fatwas at the holy mosques.

Operating in languages such as Arabic, English, French, Russian, Persian, Turkish, Malay, Urdu, Chinese, Bengali, and Hausa, the guidance robot boasts a 21-inch touchscreen for visitor services, smart wheels for smooth movement, and a fast 5 GHz wireless network for efficient data transfer.

Equipped with high-definition cameras, clear speakers, noise-cancelling technology, and a quality microphone, these robots traverse the Grand Mosque, providing guidance and answering questions from pilgrims and Umrah performers regarding rituals and religious matters.

The integration of artificial intelligence through the smart guidance robot marks a significant step forward in enhancing the religious services offered at the two holy mosques. This innovative approach not only streamlines the process of seeking religious guidance but also showcases the commitment of The Presidency for Religious Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques to embrace technological advancements for the benefit of pilgrims and visitors.
