robot 機器人

購物機器人曾在日本出沒，但在紐約商店就很少看見，現在這個情況可能要改變了。據報，UNIQLO SoHo 將在自家店面用Mitsubishi的Wakamaru機器人來招待客人，它有一雙直視你（或者嚇到你）的眼睛，可以做一些基本溝通，還可以幫你決定買哪一件衣服比較好。

UNIQLO has never been afraid to inovate the shopping experience (think: UT Loop, grid playground and the concept t-shirt store) but this time they are adding a robot to their stores. Yep, you read right a robot named Wakamaru. Designed by Toshiyuki Kita and engineered by Mitsubishi, the robot can make eye contact with you, have simple conversations and help you shop for some Japanese animation t-shirts. But there is a catch, the robot is being described as neither human nor machine. The only thing we can think of that fits that catagory is robocop, which could end up to be a huge PR problem for UNIQLO if anyone saw Robocop 3. Look for Wakamaru to make his/her first appearnce at the Soho store in NYC sometime in the second week of September.
