Temple employs robot monk to chant mantras in China 
A Buddhist temple in China has employed a robot monk 'Xian'er' to chant mantras and answer questions about faith. At 2-feet high, the robot features yellow robes, a shaved head, and a small tablet atop his belly. Users can interact with Xian'er, trained to offer answers provided by the temple's masters, through the tablet or a voice remote.
