Sberbank
Sberbank, known as Sber, is Russia's largest bank and a technology conglomerate headquartered in Moscow, led by chief executive German Gref. It traces its history to 1841 and today runs a broad technology ecosystem that includes its GigaChat large language model. On 21 November 2025, at the AI Journey 2025 conference in Moscow, Sber debuted Green, its first humanoid robot, developed by the Sber Robotics Lab. Green is a bipedal humanoid with ten vision sensors for mapping its surroundings, and inertial and force sensors for balance, and is powered by GigaChat so it can process sound and images in real time, hold conversations and act on voice commands. It danced in front of President Vladimir Putin at the launch. Green currently serves as a testing platform for logistics and warehouse tasks such as sorting and packing, and Gref said its skills would extend to manufacturing, retail and food service as GigaChat develops. Sber describes the robot as part of a push into physical AI built on a domestic technology stack.
