Overview

  • State television broadcast the interaction, and the video spread quickly across social media.
  • The robot identified itself as Green and presented as a Russian humanoid with integrated artificial intelligence.
  • Sberbank said the robot’s software will be updated continuously, it can perform physical tasks, and pilot deployments are planned in parts of the business.
