TOKYO, March 29 ― If you need to change money while passing through Tokyo's Narita airport ― all you have to do is ask the robot.

“Nao” is a friendly bank clerk that can tell you the rate of exchange for any currency in either English, Japanese, or Chinese.

Built by Paris based-Aldebaran Robotics, the sleek red and white machine stands about the height of a bedside table. Gestures, eye movements and mannerisms have all been programmed into “Nao”  in the hopes that humans will take a liking to it. ― Reuters
