Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Adviser to US President Donald Trump Ivanka Trump on Tuesday inaugurated the three-day Global Entrepreneur Summit in Hyderabad by pressing a button on an indigenously developed robot called Mitra. Mitra has been developed by a Bangalore-based startup Invento Robotics that was set up in October 2015. The company sells multiple versions of the robot, customised for different sectors such as corporates and banking. Mitra also features a facial recognition technology which the company says is quite accurate, allowing the robot to quickly identify the person and deliver the customised services. At the moment, Mitra supports Kannada and English but the company says it is soon going to add support for Hindi as well.
