In un tempio buddhista della Corea del Sud, durante le celebrazioni per la nascita del Buddha, il primo monaco-robot ha preso i precetti.

Il robot è stato sviluppato dalla compagnia cinese Unitree Robotics.

Al di là della curiosità della notizia, a mio parere questo fatto dovrebbe stimolare una nostra riflessione.

South Korea has introduced its first humanoid robot monk, named Gabi. The robot monk was introduced at a Buddhist ceremony in Seoul, marking a new intersection of technology and religion. According to reports by The Korea Times, the robot took part in a traditional precept ceremony at Jogye Temple ahead of Buddha’s Birthday celebrations. The 130-centimetre-tall robot, developed on China’s Unitree G1 platform, wore a grey-and-brown Buddhist robe and performed ritual steps alongside monks.
