The official Xinhua News Agency has followed the trend of artificial intelligence and added a ROBOT REPORTER to its team recently. The interactive robot with the appearance of a young Chinese woman in traditional dress did a Skype interview this week with Wired Magazine’s Kevin Kelly. Xinhua said the robot will be upgraded in the future with better language skills. The human-like robot is designed with natural eye movement and speech, which is synchronized with its lip movement.
