On Wednesday 24th August 2016 Alexander the robot will be pulling up a chair and telling the Westfield indoor park goers a series of classic fairy-tale stories, taking questions and having a walk with the children around the park.

As Artificial Intelligence becomes more common place in everyday life, Westfield embraces the trend for pioneering technology with a special activation for kids. AI Robots, have been seen to take on a variety of service positions within the retail sector, restaurants, hotels, banks and within schools too, becoming a handy tool in engaging with children for innovative stories and learning opportunities.

As the UK’s leading shopping centre in pioneering the consumer tech innovation, Westfield is always trailing and testing new technologies and innovations to enhance the customer experience and bring fun and engagement to our events. In the past Westfield has incorporated tweet mirrors, augmented and virtual reality and beacon technology into our customer experience and we are really excited to create the first ever artificial intelligence led activity for kids to our centres.

Recent research (Nottingham Trent University) has demonstrated how using a humanoid robot as an educational tool significantly boosted engagement of pupils compared with a standard classroom setting; now Westfield is just as keen to learn how we can interact and utilize these Robots for delivering the best customer journey.

The event is free of charge to all, with a place in the park dedicated for the visitors to take a seat on the grass and enjoy under the ‘Fairy-Tale Tree’
