KettyBot Pro as ‘KIM-BOT’
KettyBot Pro is a highly versatile delivery robot boasting an impressive 30-kilogram load capacity. Engineered by Pudu Robotics, it excels in delivering, promoting, and engaging with audiences all at once, making it an ideal solution for commercial environments, exhibitions, and events that seek to incorporate a dash of innovation.
To create a human-robot connection between Kuya Kim and the KettyBot Pro, GMA named it KIM-BOT, blending the name Kim with the word robot.
Kuya Kim and GMA: Robot-Assisted Contract Signing
The contract signing ceremony for the renowned TV personality, Kuya Kim Atienza, uniquely blended tradition and technology. GMA Network’s traditional contract-signing ceremony, typically involving executives and artists signing contracts, was reimagined with a robotic twist.
KIM-BOT graced the event and added a futuristic touch to the proceedings by delivering the important contracts to the attendees and greeting the star of the ceremony, Kuya Kim.
Present at the ceremony were GMA Network President and CEO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr.; Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, and President of GMA Films Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes; GMA Public Affairs First Vice President Nessa Valdellon; GMA Integrated News Vice President and Deputy Head for News Programs and Specials Michelle Seva; Consultant for GMA Entertainment Group Darling de Jesus-Bodegon, and Kim Atienza’s manager, Noel Ferrer.
As KIM-BOT entered the conference room, the esteemed media personalities expressed their amusement by clapping and cheering. KIM-BOT moved through the room with ease, carrying the contracts, greeting everyone, and playing music.
‘Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!’ Media Conference
The media conference for Kuya Kim’s new show, ‘Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!’, was another occasion where technology took center stage. Kettybot Pro, aka KIM-BOT, was once again deployed to assist in the event and join Kuya Kim Atienza in launching and promoting his new public affairs show.
‘Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!’ is GMA Network’s newest TV show that blends information-sharing and entertainment, known as infotainment. KIM-BOT is a perfect addition to the show’s media launch as it aligns with the program’s branding and the host’s identity.
Combining robotics with entertainment adds a layer of novelty that resonates with Kuya Kim’s vibrant personality. KIM-BOT essentially embodies the blend of information and entertainment that is a hallmark of Kim Atienza’s career.
At the end of the media conference, MySolutions had the opportunity to ask Kuya Kim about his perspective on the increasing number of smart service robots across various industries.
The Future of Smart Robots in the Events Industry
As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see more innovative applications of smart robots in the events industry. From delivering food and beverages to providing interactive experiences, smart robots can revolutionize the way events are planned and executed.
The use of smart robots like Kettybot Pro not only adds a robotic element to events but also streamlines operations and enhances the overall experience of attendees and organizers.
By embracing cutting-edge technology, GMA Network and MySolutions are setting a new standard for innovation in the Philippine events industry.
In the future, these service robots will become more integrated into every day life – transforming agriculture, logistics, retail and much more. Their increased presence will transform how people live and change social constructs, and businesses are run.
