IIT Bombay’s Techfest - Einstein, the robot was the star attraction
Einstein was the star attraction, two years after Sophia, the world’s first robot to receive a country’s citizenship, on the last day of IIT Bombay’s Techfest on Sunday.
“Sophia told me how much you made her feel welcome,” the robot prompted in a 10-minute interaction with the audience, many of whom had travelled long distances to attend the event.
When asked by the host if it was as smart as the scientist after whom it had been named, Einstein prompted, “There is no doubt about my mathematical abilities.”
The organisers cancelled a media interaction scheduled with Einstein even as they had promised a question and answer round with the audience. This was the robot’s first appearance in India.
