In Moscow, there was a first robot-seller 

 

An unusual experiment is carried out in Moscow. Today, the job came first robot-consultant. Visitors to the store did not believe his eyes: Now see – where, for example, is bread or potatoes, you can not have occupied the seller, while the agile robot. Moreover, he holds, and show the right shelf.

 

Recharge, and possible further work. The robot excellent memory, he does not need any lunch or an increase in pay. The solid advantage.

 

Just the perfect employee. And the answers to customer questions, and even place orders.

 

Benjamin Trubachev correspondent:

 - Visitors to the store has not yet become accustomed to this unusual consultant, so the advice of a robot who turns a little. It appears, enter false. For the pile of chips and microarrays also hiding people. He sees me through a camera that is mounted in the head and just below the speaker. He hears and sees.

 

The robot, Hello. – Hello, my name is Sergey, what I will do to help?

 

This is not a computer program, and certainly not artificial intelligence. Controls the robot out of the house people with disabilities. He can not move independently, and here – you can have fun and socialize.

 

Sergei, a man-robot:

 - Can say anything. – Like what? – For example, can knock on me. Thinking that I’m just an exhibit. – What do you tell them? I just say, good day, please do not knock on my way and I will hear and see.

 

Control the robot using a special computer program and the Internet. Thus, we can not work from the comfort of home. The owner of the store employee of an unusual yet satisfied.

 

Tverdokhlebov Alexander, owner of the store with a robot-guidance:

 - Naturally a robot can not bill the person, but basically, what does it completely replace the manager. And advise. And show and tell, and do everything.

 

Twin brother of the robot is not working, he studied at the Moscow school. Thanks to the little man iron boy with leukemia is present in the classroom. Two years ago, the doctors have forbidden him to go to school, too dangerous for your health.

 

Stepan Sopin, the student:

 - Can change the speed – from slow to fast speed. I can turn my head to look left and right. The image is as if I’m right in the classroom.

 

The boy could answer or ask a teacher. In short, to behave as before, even at recess to play with classmates.

 

Nina Sopina, mother of Stepan Sopina:

 - The guys in the class joke, indulge. And Stepan, too, in the present. And he was this very, very short supply, that is normal, real life baby.

 

Such robots have already collected about fifty specimens. Know-how, especially designed for people who have the disease are not allowed to leave the apartment.

 

Vyacheslav Kravtsov, director of the company for the production of robots:

 - These people are using these robots can work, earning money, and most importantly – can adapt to the social environment, to communicate with like-minded people, healthy people.

 

Robots are already used in hospitals to interview patients in museums – as guides in libraries – to help find the right book. But this is only experimental samples. Soon plan to upgrade the device: it will appear the arms and legs so that the machine was more like a living person.
