Seoul's Incheon International Airport has deployed a small fleet of robots programmed to help travellers with everything from finding their gate and their boarding times to getting a local weather forecast for their travel destination in an initiative that's become a growing trend among international hubs.  

Starting this month, fliers passing through South Korea's largest airport can consult one of five LG Electronics guide robots roving the terminal, dispatched to help lost or hapless travellers.
