Humanoid Robot 'Green' Dances for Putin at Sberbank Tech Showcase

Sberbank says the humanoid's software will be updated continuously for potential business use.

Overview

  • The robot introduced itself as Green, describing itself as the first Russian humanoid with integrated AI before dancing to what it called its favorite song.
  • State television aired the demonstration as President Vladimir Putin watched and later called the performance “very nice.”
  • A presidential bodyguard positioned himself between Green and Putin to ensure the machine kept a safe distance.
  • Sberbank said Green’s software will receive constant updates, the robot can perform physical tasks, and a pilot could place it in parts of the bank’s operations.
  • The display came days after another Russian humanoid, Aidol, fell during a presentation in Moscow, after which its maker shared a lighthearted recovery update.
