When I was watching Japan TV news this week, I was amazed to see a humanoid female robot which could not only walk and talk but also express emotions such as smiles, anger, and surprise!
This robot named HRP-4C is developed by scientists at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science andTechnology, in Tsukuba city, near Tokyo. And this very robot will make a special appearance in Tokyo fashion show, next week. So models like Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn are going to have an ageless competitor now as they do the catwalk!
This robot has been created for the entertainment industry, and will go on sale for about 20 million yen (US$200,000). I wonder who will buy this robot at such a high price in this time of economic downturn.
The female robot has a feminine Japanese face, large doe-like eyes, a small nose and shoulder length straight hair. It is 5′2″ tall, about the average height of Japanese women, and has 42 motion motors programmed to mimic the human like movements.
