An“unmanned”， fully automated(自动的)bank opened on Monday in Shanghai. It has received positive feedback from customers, especially younger ones.

The equipment, set up by China Construction Bank's Shanghai Branch on Jiujiang Road in the downtown district, is providing self­service—replacing the counters and busy clerks at traditional banks, and it is using robots. It comes at a time when things like mobile Internet, big data and artificial intelligence have become part of Chinese people's everyday lives. Plenty of visitors attracted by the human­free method arrived on Thursday.

China Construction Bank said all kinds of self­service machines helped by leading technologies, such as robots, voice recognition and face recognition can deal with more than 90 percent of the cash and non­cash business of a traditional bank.

Customers visiting the bank for the first time need to show their ID cards or bank cards to get in through a turnstile(入口处等的旋转式栅门). Then their facial information is collected and they_can go on with almost any kind of things. They do not need to show their cards or mobile phones again.

Another highlight of the automated bank is a robotic guide that can understand and answer all kinds of questions in Mandarin. When asked if it can speak Shanghai dialect(方言), the robot answered, “I am a new Shanghai person and I can't speak the local dialect.”

A_few_bank_workers_and_a_guard_were_walking_around_to_provide_help__ “We are here because it's first used in people's life　　 and people may meet all kinds of questions and need help，” an employee said. “But we don't put our hands on any of the machines, as traditional clerks do.”

新型机器人

Nexi is one of a new generation of robots. It moves on wheels and can pick up objects. But robots like Nexi are more than just entertaining toys.

Nexi, a social robot created by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), can express human emotions. Roboticists at MIT call Nexi a “social robot”. 1. Nexi can look sad, mad, and even bored. Some social robots can also “read” our facial expressions.

2. Autom is a robot health coach. It has a screen where you enter information about what food you ate that day or how much you exercised. Autom has a face with eyes that move. 3. Autom gives you advice about your diet and exercise and drives you to do better.

In a test, Autom helped people lose weight better than other ways of recording diet information. Breazeal thinks it's because Autom used facial expressions and words of encouragement. In other words, Autom communicated like a real person. In fact, many people who used Autom gave the robot a new name and talked to it. 4.

In the future, humans may communicate with social robots just like they do with other people. 5. Let's wait and see what will happen in the future!
