At some point we all have to face reality：we can't live off our parents forever.We have to get a job and become a productive member of society or earn a living as a writer.That time has come for French robot Nao，who has left Paris to get his first job at a bank in Japan.

　　Nao is a smart bank teller.He is just 58cm tall and weighs about 5.4 kg.He speaks 19 languages and can read customers' emotions from their facial expressions thanks to the built­in camera in his head.He can walk on different surfaces，recognize faces and objects，express feelings and react to touch.It can even balance itself with its arms if it falls.He can greet visitors and offer them all of the services in a bank.

　　"The robot is an important addition to the bank by performing tasks that our human staff can't，such as 24­hour banking and multilingual communication.He is cute and friendly and I believe our customers will like it，"said an official.

　　The bank believes that Nao's superb linguistic skills and ability to work for 24 hours a day will be invaluable，especially during the 2020 Summer Olympic Games，when the country expects to welcome visitors from around the world.

　　Nao enjoys a wide range of hobbies，including playing golf and dancing.For example，he can dance to the song Gangnam Style by moving its arms and legs.
