Emirates Just Unveiled The World’s First Robot Check-In Assistant
The airline’s Dubai check-in center lets travelers drop their luggage 24 hours and up to 4 hours before a flight.
The Dubai-based airline, Emirates, has launched a new check-in facility at the ICD Brookfield Place in the Dubai International Financial Centre featuring the world’s first robot check-in assistant.
The robot, named Sara, can assist customers with a wide range of services, including bookings, check-ins, and luggage drop-offs between 08:00 and 10:00 daily.
After unveiling the new service, Adel Al Redha, COO of Emirates, noted, “It is a state-of-the-art facility, and it is the next level of privilege that we can offer our customers. People can avoid busy periods at the airport and minimize queuing”.
The robot check-in service went operational on Thursday, April 27, and allows customers to drop off luggage as soon as 24 hours and up to 4 hours before a flight, allowing a leisurely and stress-free airport experience.
Emirates flyers can also use the check-in service for expert advice and offers on popular destinations, as well as to manage bookings, purchase upgrades, and choose their preferred seats.

The robot check-in service premiered at Emirates HQ earlier this year and can scan passengers’ faces and match them to travel documents. With more time on their hands after using the new automated system, Emirates customers will also be able to enjoy discounted services at a range of Brookfield Place facilities, including restaurants, gyms, and high-end stores.
When it’s time to fly, Emirates passengers can travel directly to the airport via taxi or a dedicated Emirates chauffeur service. In addition, the Financial Centre Metro Station connecting Airport Terminal 3 Metro Station is a short 10-minute walk from the ICD.

Samsung To Roll Out One UI 7 Starting April 7
The update will introduce AI-driven tools and Google integration, along with a fresh design and enhanced personalization options.
Samsung has confirmed that One UI 7 will officially begin rolling out on April 7, bringing a fresh design and enhanced personalization options. This update is tailored for a more intuitive user experience, powered by AI-driven improvements. Initially, One UI 7 will be available in the U.S. on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 starting April 10. The rollout will gradually expand to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks.
Refined Design And More Customization
With One UI 7, Samsung is introducing a cleaner, more cohesive look aimed at making customization easier and more intuitive. The home screen, widgets, and lock screen have been redesigned to streamline navigation and personalization.
One standout feature is Now Bar, which provides real-time updates directly on the lock screen. Whether checking workout progress during a run or seeing what’s playing on Galaxy Buds, users can access key information with just a swipe — no need to unlock the phone.
AI-Powered Enhancements For A Smoother Experience
Samsung has integrated AI into One UI 7 to make everyday interactions more seamless and efficient. Galaxy AI helps users complete tasks with minimal app switching, while AI Select suggests relevant actions based on selected content. For instance, users can swipe the Edge Panel and tap the AI Select icon while watching a video to instantly create a GIF.
Writing Assist — a favorite tool for Galaxy users — will now offer automatic text summarization and formatting. Meanwhile, Drawing Assist provides a creative boost by generating visuals from text prompts, images, or sketches. Another highlight, Audio Eraser, allows users to fine-tune video sound by isolating and adjusting different audio elements.

Finally, Samsung has added greater integration with Google Gemini. Users can simply activate Gemini and ask, “Find Italian restaurants with outdoor seating that are pet friendly” to get instant recommendations. Natural language search also makes adjusting settings easier — users can now tap the mic icon in Settings and say, My eyes feel tired, to receive suggestions like dimming the screen or enabling Eye Comfort Shield.
Device Compatibility And Rollout Schedule
The One UI 7 update will begin rolling out on April 7, with more devices receiving it in the weeks that follow. Compatible models include the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and the Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S9 series.
