Japan Launches Robot as Funeral Service
According to the American Odditycentral website, with the development of mechanical technology and the improvement of automation, many tasks that must be done by human beings have been gradually replaced by machines.
A Japanese company recently launched the "Robot Funeral Service" program, which allows robots to perform funerals and to recite prayers, much cheaper than asking real monks.
A humanoid robot named "Pepper" developed by Japan's Softbank Robotics Co., Ltd. claims to be the first robot capable of reading human emotions. After being put on the market two years ago, she has worked in various industries, such as being a teller at a bank, serving as a waiter at a sushi restaurant, and even recognizing visiting guests through facial recognition software in nursing homes. Chat with the old man.
However, “Pepper†has recently been put into a new industry: as a Buddhist monk to preside over funerals to reduce funeral expenses.
Japan’s Nissei Eco has modified Softbank’s “pepper†robot to make it look like a monk. The "Robot Monks" presided over the funeral for the deceased and only 50,000 yen (approximately RMB 3050) was required to chant the Buddha.
The company admits that this business is still mainly intended to be used by people who are not religious and are open to life and death. This business is more hopeful to try to introduce more new technologies in the funeral industry and change them from time to time.
It is reported that the "Monk Robot" will participate in the "International Funeral Exhibition" held in Tokyo next week. At this year's show, there will be hundreds of funeral companies to showcase their latest business and products. (Scorpio)
