(RT) – A Russian startup has launched serial production of unique life-like robots that not only look the way you want and mimic facial expressions but are also able to work for you. Based in the Russian city of Perm, Promobot says its humanoid bots, called Android Robo-C, can replace humans in the office and even at home. The android can answer people’s questions in shopping centers and museums, be an administrator or an office employee, and greet visitors and communicate with them,
according to the maker. However, it won’t be working much longer than a human – its battery only lasts eight hours before it needs to be re-charged. “This is the first humanoid android in the world that not only mimics the human appearance but is also able to integrate into business processes. We have already created one prototype, and now we will release a series,” co-founder and development director of the robot-making firm, Oleg Kivokurtsev, told TASS. READ MORE
