Robot Customs Officers in China
INTELLIGENT robots have started working as customs officers at three ports in China's Customs offices.
The robots, named Xiao Hai, have state-of-the-art perception technology and are able to listen, speak, learn, see and walk.
Based on a specialized customs database, the robots can answer questions in 28 languages and dialects, including Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Japanese.
There are some particular problems they cannot solve, and customs officials will link the robots to their customer service hotline.
With face recognition technology, the robots can detect suspicious people and raise an alarm.
Certainly the robots will not demand bribes.
Until Tomorrow with more DDT
Have a nice day.
