Gabi is the first humanoid robot to become a buddhist monk.
At Jogye Temple in Seoul, on Wednesday, the 130-centimetre-tall robot stood before fellow human monks as it pledged to devote itself to Buddhism.
The robot monk folded its hands and bowed to the monks presiding over the ceremony as one monk carefully placed a rosary around its neck.
Gabi is expected to attend a lantern festival later this month with its fellow robots.
