Terminal 1 at Incheon International Airport, located just outside Seoul, South Korea, is now home to a coffee delivery robot by the name of Air-Dilly. Via an app called Baemin, those who find themselves at the airport can conveniently order items from [Baskin-Robbins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-batter-ice-cream), [Paris Baguette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Community-focused-bakery-cafs) or [Dunkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-and-jetblue)’ and have them delivered to their location. There are currently six robots that have been employed to handle these requests between limited hours of the day.

With a total carrying capacity of 37.48 pounds and the ability to serve people 820 feet from the participating businesses, Air-Dilly helps to reenergize travelers.

Air-Dilly has already been put to good use in hospitals and offices around Korea and this is the first time that the robot is being integrated into an airport.
