Honda’s popular robot Asimo faced problems with gesture recognition on its first day as a museum guide at the Miraikan science museum in Tokyo.
The machine struggled to differentiate between museum-goers raising their hands to ask a question and raising their hands to take photos, Associated Press reported.
It is “working” as a tour guide at the museum for the next four weeks as a trial.
Asimo cannot respond to voice commands.
