Overview

  • The AI-powered humanoid introduced itself as Green and danced for President Vladimir Putin during a Moscow exhibition.
  • Putin praised the performance as very beautiful before continuing his tour of the showcase.
  • Sberbank said the robot’s software will receive continuous updates, has potential for physical tasks, and will be tested in parts of its business.
  • A bodyguard positioned himself between the machine and the president afterward to ensure it kept its distance.
  • The display followed a separate Moscow event days earlier where another Russian robot, Aidol, fell, and Putin also viewed smart cash machines that use a camera to provide health summaries.
