Giiso Information, founded in 2013, is a leading technology provider in the field of “artificial intelligence + information” in China, with top technologies in big data mining, intelligent semantics, knowledge mapping and other fields. At the same time, its research and development products include information robot, editing robot, writing robot and other artificial intelligence products! With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.
The university of Arizona first unveiled the system in 2012, and researchers have been developing the technology ever since, and so far the robots are ready to be deployed at international borders.
The robot uses eye sensors, motion and pressure sensors and other software to detect various external signs of people to see if they are lying. It also comes with a foot pad to detect whether the subject has bent his toes in discomfort.

The polite, bilingual robot asks passengers a series of questions, such as “Do you have any fruit or vegetables in your luggage?” “Or” Do you have a weapon with you?
It also asks irrelevant questions to help distinguish whether the person answering is simply nervous or lying. The robot will alert passengers who may be lying for further inspection by border security agents.
