The ARS team is proud to announce the deployment of our first A.I. self-service kiosk in an academic setting. Last week, we launched an interactive kiosk at the William and Mary Law Center's renowned Center for Legal and Court Technology, bringing our proven court technology solutions into legal education.


A Partnership Built on Shared Vision

Our teams began working together in mid-2025 after recognizing our shared commitment to advancing access to justice through technology. Beyond serving students and visitors, the kiosk will function

as a research tool, providing valuable data on how users interact with A.I. self-service technology in a legal environment. This research component will help inform future deployments and improve our understanding of what makes these solutions most effective for diverse users.


The kiosk provides law students, faculty, and visitors with instant access to interactive wayfinding, comprehensive FAQs about the Law Center, and multilingual support in both English and Spanish through text and voice interaction. An A.I.-powered avatar creates a friendly, seamless experience that makes navigating the facility intuitive and accessible.


"Our partnership with William and Mary represents more than just a deployment—it's an opportunity to learn alongside one of the nation's leading institutions in court technology research. The insights we gain from this collaboration will help us increase access to justice for courts and communities even more effectively." Said Paul McManus, CEO of Advanced Robot Solutions.


Proven Technology, New Application

This academic deployment showcases the same transformative technology that's already improving access to justice across more than a dozen states. From El Paso County's seven-kiosk ecosystem serving military families at Fort Bliss to Chester County, Pennsylvania's telepresence capabilities for remote court support, our solutions have consistently delivered measurable improvements in service delivery. Kansas City's agent-guided form filing and Lansing, Michigan's advanced wayfinding have demonstrated how self-service technology can handle complex tasks while maintaining the human touch through integrated support systems.


The Access to Justice Connection

Deploying at a law school isn't just about wayfinding—it's about preparing future legal professionals to understand and advocate for technology-driven access to justice solutions. Law students at William and Mary will experience firsthand how A.I. self-service technology can break down barriers to information and services. They'll see how multilingual support opens doors for diverse populations, how intuitive interfaces reduce intimidation, and how 24/7 availability extends access beyond traditional business hours. These are the same principles that have made our court kiosks successful in serving citizens across rural counties, urban centers, and military installations.


Looking Forward

As courts nationwide continue to embrace digital transformation, the next generation of attorneys, judges, and court administrators needs hands-on experience with these technologies. William and Mary Law Center students will graduate with practical knowledge of how A.I.-powered self-service solutions can enhance rather than replace human services—freeing staff to focus on complex legal matters while ensuring every visitor receives prompt, accurate assistance.


This deployment marks an exciting new chapter for Advanced Robot Solutions as we expand our mission beyond courthouses and into the institutions training tomorrow's legal leaders. We're grateful to William and Mary for their partnership and look forward to supporting their continued innovation in legal education and court technology research.
