Toshiba Corp. unveiled a new multilingual android Friday who introduces herself and gives out information in three languages to tourists visiting Tokyo's popular Odaiba waterfront district.
Making her debut at an information center located inside Aqua City Odaiba commercial complex was a female lifelike robot named ChihiraJunco, who converses in Japanese, English and Chinese.
"I am honored to be your guide for Aqua City Odaiba," ChihiraJunco said in British-accented English. "I am going through training right now until Nov. 6, and starting in December, I will be here to help you navigate through this Odaiba area."
