Robots have been deployed in South Korea's Incheon airport to greet travellers.

Footage captured on Thursday (September 26) shows a family interact with the automaton, while it takes photos with a selfie feature.

The filmer explained: "The robot is programmed in Korean, Japanese, Chinese and English.

"You can select what type of face it will display when you have a selfie with it.

"It can even take your photo and display it on its stomach before emailing you the image - it can also send you the photo via SMS."
