At the exhibition, a rest cabin that could be used at airports drew attention. The cabin gives passengers a private space to take a nap while waiting for their flight.

A robot that could cruise around an airport and serve fresh coffee to travelers was also on display at the event.

Nearly 100 participants took part, hailing from airline companies, airports, research institutes, universities, manufacturing enterprises and more.
