<p><!--wsa:gooold-->Have you ever been in a building so big that you couldn&#8217;t help but get hopelessly lost every time you tried to go anywhere at all? Apparently, the Santander Bank visitors&#8217; center in Madrid, Spain is that big. But unlike American banks, Grupo Santander doesn&#8217;t want to laugh at you while you wander around aimlessly &#8211; they actually want to help you. To that end, they enlisted the help of <a href="http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2010-04/guidebots-keep-bank-visitors-getting-lost">a fleet of little red guidebot</a>s. You just find a bot, choose your language and destination on its touch screen, and your robot guide takes you right there.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="468" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bzDIJ6TTc6w&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>The cute guidebots are known as SIGA (Santander Interactive Guest Assistants) and YDreams, the company that created them, says they&#8217;re the first to use swarm robotics in a commercial context. You can see the bots doing their thing in the video above, but just as impressive are the other high-tech tools the financial center has implemented. The augmented reality model of the Financial City is particularly mind-blowing.</p><p>The post <a href="https://gajitz.com/sweet-guidebots-lead-visitors-around-in-huge-spanish-bank/">Sweet Guidebots Lead Visitors Around in Huge Spanish Bank</a> first appeared on <a href="https://gajitz.com">Gajitz</a>.</p>
