Abstract

The project “Robots as Advertising Agents” explores the integration of robotics in the advertising industry to create dynamic, interactive, and memorable brand experiences. As advertising shifts toward experiential and engaging methods, robots equipped with advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensors, and communication systems can act as captivating agents that interact with audiences in unique ways.

The initiative seeks to leverage robotics to perform tasks such as distributing promotional materials, personalizing customer interactions, gathering data, and providing live demonstrations. By blending mobility, interactivity, and creativity, robotic agents can operate in public spaces like malls, events, and exhibitions, transforming traditional advertising mediums into interactive campaigns that capture attention and improve customer engagement.

This project will focus on designing, developing, and deploying robot prototypes that can adapt to various advertising contexts, test their efficacy in real-world scenarios, and analyze their impact on consumer engagement and brand recall. The ultimate aim is to demonstrate how robots can innovate advertising strategies, making them more interactive, cost-effective, and impact in a rapidly evolving market landscape.

Problem Statement

Here in this example, let’s consider the case of Jaguar. Recently, we all witnessed the automobile brand Jaguar using unique and unconventional advertisement strategies to grab people’s attention. This is a clear example of how advertising agencies are losing their edge with static media and conventional modes of advertising!

In a world saturated with boring and static QR codes, lively and engaging mediums of advertising are inevitable and in high demand!

Existing unique strategies: Emotional Connection

Our autonomous robots move through environments, dynamically creating personalized ads based on real-time data—delivering a truly unique experience every time.

Leveraging the opportunities of freshness and experiencing an ad in real time is the FUTURE!

“By creating real-time interactions, our robots make ads fun, exciting, and emotionally impactfull—turning passive viewers into active participants.”

“It’s no longer just about the message—it’s about creating lasting emotional experiences.”
