A robot monk serves at a Buddhist temple in Beijing
A robot resembling a miniature monk serves at a Buddhist monastery in Beijing. The device is busy answering questions and welcoming visitors.
The 60-centimeter robot is stylized as a Buddhist monk - shaved bald, wearing a loose robe and slippers. However, he has a tablet in his hands. Visitors to the monastery can consult the device using the touch screen and remote control.
The prototype was a cartoon character that is very popular in China.
The list of duties of the robot includes excursions around the territory of the temple, stories about its history, the peculiarities of the life of monks. Tourists can ask questions and get answers prepared in advance by novices.
Such devices resolve issues and resolve personnel issues. And now they are used not only in the service sector, but also in Buddhist monasteries. And if we consider that vows of silence are frequent for monks, then such robots are simply necessary.
The version of the device presented in the monastery is one of the three already used in the monasteries.
It is noted that in 2015, a robotic version of such devices was launched by several Chinese information technology companies.
You can buy a robot for home use in the section "Technics" on the OXO website. These are robotic vacuum cleaners, and robotic pets, and other devices that work on this principle.
