Kathmandu. Robots are breaking new boundaries in technology every day. But the incident in South Korea has surprised people. For the first time, a humanoid robot has been made a Buddhist monk. <\/p>\n
The robot was officially installed during a special ceremony at Seoul’s famous Jongye Temple. The robot’s name is Gabi and it is about 130 centimeters tall. <\/p>\n
Trained like a real Buddhist monk<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n }<\/p>\n It wasn’t a technical program. But for people, it was a religious ceremony. The robot was dressed in traditional Buddhist attire, prayed with folded hands, and accepted Buddhist teachings. In front of those present at the ceremony, it answered all the questions that were asked of the new monk. <\/p>\n The robot had undergone training prior to its appointment. Like humans, this robot was designed as a novice or a beginner monk. It was then officially accepted into the Buddhist community. <\/p>\n Why was this necessary? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In fact, in many Asian countries, the number of monks in Buddhist monasteries is gradually declining. In such a situation, robots are seen as helpers. These robots can provide information and teach rituals to temple visitors. <\/p>\n The new generation is showing less interest in religious life and the number of older monks is increasing. As a result, it is becoming more and more difficult to run the temple. <\/p>\n Similar experiments have been conducted in Japan and South Korea. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based robots have been trained in Buddhist texts to provide spiritual advice to people. <\/p>\n Developed in South Korea, the robot is equipped with technology that allows humans to talk, understand questions and respond in religious contexts. <\/p>\n Trained in Buddhist Texts and Teachings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This robot has been trained on Buddhist texts and teachings. This means that if someone asks it questions related to religion or life, it can answer. It explains prayer methods to temple visitors, provides information about Buddhist traditions, and may even provide peace of mind or advice in some cases. <\/p>\n Besides, it’s not just a talking robot. It is also designed to assist with temple work, such as cleaning, basic work, security monitoring and guidance to visitors. In other words, it’s a digital assistant. Which can reduce the workload of real monks. <\/p>\n It’s worth noting that robots like Buddharoyd have also been created in Japan. Those who provide religious advice and interact with people. This need arose because many temples are on the verge of being closed. <\/p>\n However, the developers of the robot say that it was not designed to replace humans. The purpose is only to help, not to become a real monk. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kathmandu. Robots are breaking new boundaries in technology every day.
