The security robot, who is a girl, has a name – B-3PO. Being equipped with cameras and sensors, she can send images to a central command post while gliding around. /VCG Photo

B-3PO is the application of Geofence technology. She has been used since February by LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), the private company that is rebuilding the airport’s central terminal. /VCG Photo

“We do have the opportunity to test a lot of different things, use this terminal as an incubator to see what makes sense to bring to the new terminal,” said Tracy Sandford, LGP's director of marketing. /VCG Photo
