ASTHRA Welcome Robot

The
Challenge

Festival visitors need quick answers about events, venues, schedules, and registration, while organisers need a consistent welcome experience across a large campus. A static notice board or printed programme cannot adapt to individual questions or capture on-site feedback.

The
Solution

A browser-based welcome robot interface for Asthra 11.0 that combines a voice-guided event directory, an ID scanning station, and a feedback flow. A speech-synthesis state machine and intent matcher respond to event, venue, schedule, and registration queries; camera captures are compressed and sent to an OCR endpoint for name recognition, with results read aloud and shown in the HUD. The Next.js app uses Three.js for the animated background, Supabase for feedback storage, and an admin view for reviewing responses.
