Robot Betty to be the new trainee office manager in UK - Firstpost

London: An intelligent and highly sophisticated robot developed by a research team of University of Birmingham in the UK is joining the world of work as a trainee office manager. The robot, named Betty, will greet guests at reception and carry out tasks at the Transport Systems Catapult, based in Milton Keynes, in the UK, for a two-month trial period. Betty's duties will include patrolling the offices, assessing how many staff members are in the office outside working hours and monitoring the environment by collating data on clutter, office temperature, humidity and noise. She will also check fire doors are closed and desks are clear. A highly sophisticated robot, Betty runs Artificial Intelligence-driven software developed by an international research team led by the University of Birmingham.
