Rich Chinese man goes jewelry shopping - escorted by eight robots
A rich man has found a new way to show off his wealth. In case people around him were having doubts about the size of his wallet, the man went shopping at a jewelry shop in Guangzhou city of Guangdong Province last week - escorted by eight robot servants.
Pictures of the man - flanked by electronic “servants” to carry his bags - went viral.
Chinese netizens were shocked by the latest ostentatious display of wealth. They called the man ”Tuhao”, a Chinese slang to describe a man who got rich overnight but has no taste.
Robots are being applied in more and more areas in China. The first robot restaurant was reportedly opened in Guiyang city, Guizhou Province on Monday. These “waiters” are proving very popular with customers!
But robots may have greater ambitions than waiting tables. Last Friday, China’s University of Science and Technology released a human-like robot that is comparable to Japanese models seen in the past. Not only does it have the face of a beautiful woman, it is also capable of interacting with people next to “her.”
