Robot Co-Hosts Census Ceremony Alongside South African President (Photos) by TMKsouth: 10:41pm On Oct 10, 2023 |
Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) handed over the results of the 2022 census on October 10 to president Cyril Ramaphosa. What made this event unique was that it was co-presented by a robot named Melokuhle. Resembling a character straight out of the epic space movie, Star Wars, the ‘droid’ quickly stole the show. At the end of the Census 2022 report, it asked the president if he could be its friend and if they could dance together. Melokuhle was said to be proof of South Africa’s increase in technology and spearing forward with the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). However, this model of robot is used for a very different purpose overseas. As opposed to partaking in highly important national events, in countries like Japan, its purpose it to greet restaurants patrons or guests as hotel lobbies. Other such robots were said to clean and disinfect areas. In South Korea, such machines even greet, serve and entertain individuals at eateries. But, Melokuhle is still novel in SA with its wide-eyed stare and witty personality. 2 Likes 1 Share
