Japanese bank experimenting with robots

Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, one of the world's largest banks, will introduce a humanoid robot intro branches starting this spring. The robot, named NAO, will be able to answer customers' questions about the bank's services, said spokesperson Kazunobu Takahara. Nao's a bit smaller than your average bank teller -- he is just 23 inches tall and weighs about 9 pounds.
Nao makes up for it in linguistic aptitude. He understands 19 languages, and Mitsubishi UFJ hopes he'll help handle the influx of foreign customers for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. The bank will introduce one or two NAOs as a trial, but plans to expand its robotic staff if customers are pleased.
NAO can also analyze visitors' facial expressions and tone of voice, data the bank plans to use when designing new financial services.

They should have experimented at McDonalds. Can't wait for the day where I can deal with a robot instead of some retarded HS drop out.

fricking dumb.
I ain't fricking predictable. No one knows what my facial expressions mean but me. And I can be fricking certifiably certain that a robot couldn't do what I want my bank tellers to.

If the robot takeover is going to happen, it's definitely going to start in Japan. They create people that are quirky as shite, I'm sure the robots will be bizarre.

Finally, robotic beings rule the world
The humans are dead
We used poisonous gases
And we poisoned their asses
