The Sharjah Department of Statistics and Community Development (DSCD) is at the 36th Sharjah International Book Fair, and is attracting a lot more attention than the average census generators in town with snazzy robots and other interactive digital technologies.

In a bid to sensitise the UAE community about their role in community development and welfare protection, DSCD has introduced two new age robots, Ahmad and Khalid, to interact with fair visitors and tell them about who they are, what they do, and more importantly, making the citizenry understand the importance and effectiveness of statistical data in the development and advancement of societies and peoples.
