Researchers in Japan unveiled ‘Buddharoid', a humanoid robot trained on Buddhist scriptures, based on Chinese company Unitree's G1 humanoid. The robot attended a temple event, performing hand gestures and answering questions like a spiritual priest.

Buddharoid is equipped with ‘BuddhaBot-Plus', an AI chatbot built on the base of OpenAI's ChatGPT. The robot can speak, gesture, move, and perform traditional prayer postures within temple environments.
