Sberbank’s Humanoid Robot Dances for Putin on State TV

The bank touts ongoing upgrades with a pilot inside its services to showcase domestic AI.

Overview

  • At a Moscow exhibition, a humanoid named Green introduced itself to Vladimir Putin and performed a short routine carried on state television.
  • Green described itself as the first Russian humanoid robot with embedded artificial intelligence during the on-camera exchange.
  • Kremlin bodyguards monitored the interaction closely, with one ensuring the robot kept its distance from the president.
  • Sberbank says the robot’s software will be continuously updated, with potential for physical tasks and a pilot to integrate it into parts of the bank’s operations.
  • The showcase followed days after another Russian robot, Aidol, fell during a public demo, and Putin also viewed a Sberbank smart ATM that offers health summaries from biometric indicators.
