    In our ECE Department at North South University, there are almost seven thousand students and hundreds of faculty members, many of them often have the same queries regarding departmental staff, but there are not enough human resources to answer all of them. Also, the officers assigned to the help desk at the department may sometimes get bored giving the same sort of answers again and again to a lot of people, and their office hours are limited, too. This is why we have come up with an idea to develop an AI Robot for our department, which will be able to give information regarding the departmental staff to the students and faculty members. Now, about Artificial Intelligence (AI)- Artificial Intelligence is one of the most invigorating fields in Robotics. There has always been a question about a robot’s intelligence, but nowadays Robotics is reaching a new level in the AI field. Usually, an AI Robot gathers information about an incident or situation through sensors or human inputs, and in our project, we use human inputs to make our robot useful for assistance. Our Robots will assist only in the fields it is programmed to assist in; they will not have the general analytical ability. But if our robot cannot help with something, it will respond by showing its inability to do that. Now, going to the features and how they are going to work, our Robot will be voice-controlled, where we will be using Machine Learning and NLP for controlling. Then, for movement and speaking, we will be using motors and speakers in the robot. It will give feedback on different questions using AI. We will be using voice recognition in the robot to recognize specific people. The robot will take orders from the supervisor again with voice recognition. It will interact with the general public using Machine Learning. The actual challenge in making an AI Robot is to understand how natural intelligence works, for example, in our project, it would be really tough for the robot to always move in the right direction as people can. But if we can provide it with a good mapping Algorithm, then its problems will be reduced. We have decided to work on AI Robots as we believe robots will gradually move out from the industrial and scientific worlds into our daily lives.
