Oct 05 (NHK) - Retailer Takashimaya has opened a specialty section in one of its Tokyo department stores that sells only robots. Most of them cost between 900 and 2,700 dollars.
One small robot uses artificial intelligence to help people learn English. It uses the program to respond at the learner's level.
Another AI-equipped robot helps with the laundry. It folds clean clothes and sorts them according to whom they belong to.
Company officials say Takashimaya is the first department store in Japan to have a robot section.
