Japanese robots are diverted to become monks, and they can still recite Buddhist scriptures at the funeral.

According to the US News News on August 25th, Japan is vigorously developing the robot business in the face of population aging and population decline. Now even Buddhist monks who host funeral services may be replaced by robots.

It is reported that it is very expensive to ask Buddhist monks to host a funeral in Japan for about 2,200 US dollars (about 15,000 yuan). Now Nissei Eco Co has developed a robot that can chanting, which is much cheaper than asking a monk to cost only $450 (about RMB 2,990). However, this robot is not re-developed, but a software that has been hacked on the existing robot "pepper".

According to Reuters, no one has asked "Pepper" to host the funeral.
