A human-like robot designed to look and act like a female clerk has started providing services to the public at a government office in Siberia.

The humanoid, with long blond hair and brown eyes, is serving customers in Perm, a city 1,100 km east of Moscow.

So far it only helps with issuing certificates to testify that people have a clean criminal record and no record of drug use, documents required in Russia to complete various legal transactions. The robot has been designed to look like an average Russian woman, the company behind the project Promobot said. Its facial features were generated by artificial intelligence based on analysing the appearance of several thousand females.

The robot, which wears the registry office uniform of white shirt and brown waistcoat, can recreate more than 600 human facial expressions by moving its eyes, eyebrows and lips and other mechanical muscles covered with artificial skin, Promobot said. The robot can ask and answer generic questions and is connected to a scanner and a printer. It also has access to a document database and fully replaces a registry office employee, the head of the registry office, Leonid Gromov said.

Well done Oleg , there’s way too many people in the world so you invent a AI Secretary .

'Promobot.' I like that. Where did you get that idea?

“Helping to cut red tape” code for malware programmed AI. What could possibly go wrong with hostile Russian developers and malicious intent evolving to worse? You know type H Russian chatbots are already interfering in our upcoming election!

Attitude boy Amazing video

The future mrs. 925mlbfan? Could it be Sniff009 echavez000

Wow they really captured the personality of russian women.

Reminder, Reuters is part of Russian disinformation now.

Come-on people, that is not a robot! The Russians are full of ..it! The Japanese are farther ahead of everyone in robotics & AI, and they don't have a bot that looks that good. Checkout her real skin. She's an act who has trained at mimicking a robot. She sure is cute though!

Forward!

Wow, this is just damn laziness

Why I feel many actors look-alike 🤔

Omg they are going to replace all of with robots eventually and the greedy corporations won’t have a problem with not paying a person to do a job another computer can. I hope this doesn’t spiral into more lost jobs.

Ivanka? IvankaTrump

No, thanks.

If they were not so communist, they would have already used it in the sex industry with greater profitability. 🤪

humanoid freeze in Siberia

Why did they ick blond hair?

...but.....human is in a top priority for the job yet....no exception.

Andrew Yang was right. Robots will be taking over all of our jobs. Here’s what the future looks like.

Most people on TV and in Politics appear to be humanoids like this but better probably Nazi animitronic robots with AI that are combined with animation such as CGI to make them as real as possible.

someone is 100% going to try to f--k it

Definitely a trans

And for those reasons, I’m out.

Scary misogyny.

It’s called “uncanny valley” people are hard wired to sense micro movements on faces and be bugged out it’s a silicone blob.

This is so creepy...😓

Replace putin

Japan bend there.

Reminds me of politicians...

We all know where this is headed...

Isn’t that what they use for all their fake social media profiles?

A little terrifying

Democratic party,Biden and Pelosi are trying to control House of Representatives and the US Senate so that they can control country power and seek interest for them not for US people and country. please see the the political game which they are doing with US people now

Yup replace humans..... ‘I, Robot’ 🎥 is not fake news.

That's creepy. But, that's where we're going. Well, you don't have to pay them, they don't take breaks, they don't go on vacations, or get pregnant, or get sick, but they will put alot of people out of work.

That's someone out of a job.

At least, socially distant 😅

One things for sure, she’ll never replace sarahcpr

Personally I find it pretty creepy.

How long before it becomes a sex bot 😑

NOTHING can go wrong.

genderneutral might be better FT techreview TheEconomist

When I was in Russia, all the clerks and museum guards looked nothing like that Siberian humanoid. More like...

No thank you!

If the goal is to replace humans with bots, then what's the point of all them oxygen-slurping, resources-consuming, planet-polluting humans anyhoo? Does planet earth respect human rights? Is the universe as human-centric as the ego inside the human brain believes? Ask the bot!🤔

Corruption curbed with machines is what we think! NO... India moved from BallotPaper to ElectronicVotingMachines EVM's only to ease time, cost, paper but see we have a PM who rigged these EVM's to win elections. Humans have to be honest not to rigg machines

Make her eyes less cold and the ability to blink would make her less scary.

I have a few questions. Can I DM her?

'Welcome to Rubyanka, I'll be your guide'

Why is this not just a touch screen with a voice over? What purpose does the animatronic face serve

Would have been easier and simpler to do whatever it was that needed to be done online.

That's how you increase unemployment.

Wonder shall never end

She looks eye to eye... never bats an eyelid.

At last a Russia official that can accept credit cards and make paying off bribes easier.

Arisa is real!

Finally! This explains Melania!

When I think of the potential of the robotics industry, the only word that comes to mind is ‘SCARY’!!!

Jobless rate is getting higher in every country due to Pandemic.

Until someone smashes it to bits with a large hammer! Won't be so clever then!

Netflix HUMANS

Looks like aunt Becky

See how sex doll technology has paid off.! We need to invest more money in rockets and military. (Something Trump would say)

not creepy at all.

Even russian robots dont smile 😁

The genocide of Uyghur Muslims is happening right now in China.

Another fine product, brought to you by

Androgynous face.

Just because you could, it doesn't mean you should. Also, cut cost and just hire a young, dumb 'Millennial,' same solace features, and less IQ. TrueStory

Is she also made of cake?

your face when you realize Putin will preside over Mother Russia till at least 2036

yeah but how well do they work after they fall out a window ?

OMG the virtue signalling Woke brigade in the UK will be marching in their thousands unless they get a boy one made immediately! JuliaHB1

I read that as hemorrhoid first 😳🥴🤣🤣. lol...

I’d smash.

She’ll also issue pink slips .

Why humanoid robot rather than a computer screen?

Why her highlights nicer than mine?

Ohhhh yes! I met someone just the same!

I must impregnate 10 women this year to be to control the robots

Is that meghan markle.?

glasses?

DurTicari baykall

Would

It's should be available also in Philippines where redtapes are norms.

Because we really want to isolate people as quickly as possible.

It is an 'android,' not a 'humanoid' clerk.

Is she single

They made the humanoid clerk white ? Maybe out of fears that it would have rioted or burned something if it was black

Great just what we need. A helper with zero empathy or human emotion.

...I’d hit that...🧐

Im sorry... there's too many jokes here not to take a few

I give you the Republican presidential nominee 2024

No! No plus tax. 👏🏿

Weirdest boner ever

Well... that explains my ex wife

Why does a robot need corrective glasses, when the lenses in their optic sensors could be perfectly machined for optimum focus?

Yes Mr Putin. No Putin. Three bags full Mr Putin.

davidwalliams

We've had humanoids working at the DMV for as long as I can remember

omg is that real? It looks so realistic

She looks American 😁
