07 May 2019 2074 | Business & Trade Fairs

Meet Oun Smart, a robot shop assistant who will liven up Smart Shops by welcoming customers and helping them with basic enquiries.

Unveiled at Smart Shop Monivong, Oun Smart is the first social humanoid robot to be used in this capacity in Cambodia and other countries in the region, assisting customers with product information through voice interaction.

“As the leader in Cambodia’s fast-evolving technology scene, we are excited to provide our customers with this unique experience, which we hope will entertain as well as inspire people to fall in love with technology and innovation like we have at Smart. Facial recognition technology allows Oun Smart to greet people by name, and you will see in future how the robot will become even more interactive as we develop its capabilities,” said Smart Axiata CEO Thomas Hundt.

Chief Marketing Officer, Stjepan Udovicic added that “we are proud to have a dedicated team here who will help develop Oun Smart. Today you have seen the potential of how digital interactions can be further enhanced and be super fun! I can’t wait to start getting Oun Smart more acclimatised to its surroundings and hopefully soon to speak Khmer.”
