🔹According to the Science and Technology service of Saadnews, citing Hamshahri Online, Saudi media reported that the "Minara" is designed as a large display screen with two supports, and its height is suitable for users. Pilgrims can ask questions in either spoken or written form in 15 languages and receive answers. If the robot cannot provide an answer, it directly connects the user to a religious scholar who appears on the screen via video to respond to the question.
