Nowadays, human-like robot is not just an imagination or its above your wildest dream where you can't reach it out. If you do think like that, why don't you meet HRP-4C, the beautiful and cute robots that ever made by human? Only Japan come up with a bot beauty ready to walk the catwalk. while America made so much battle robots to improve the defensive of many countries, Japan puts the tech to better use with helpful robots. Judging by the latest, the HRP-4C fashion robot, they're doing it right.
The HRP-4C is the girlie-faced humanoid robot (Android) with slightly oversized eyes, a tiny nose, and a shoulder length hair do boasts 30 motion motorson her body and 8 motors on her face that had been programmed to mimic the movements of flash-and-blood fashion model.
She was created by "Japanese National institute of Advance Industrial Science and Technology" and publicy demonstrated on March 16th , 2009. It is 158cm (5 feet 2 inches) tall and weighs 43 kg (95 pounds) including battery. Her shape and joints are based on the 1997-1998 Japanese body dimension database.
She is categorized as the multidimensional robot that can sing, dance, and give some emotional looks from its facial emotional and facial recognition. It is obvious that it used as the fashion robot for it's cute face and for its human-like movement of its face and body. But, the problem is, her debute wasn't the smoothest, as she kept looking surprised and stunned as the camera clicked away, confusing her sound sensors. On the plus side, isn't that cool? It means that the sensors of her body works on the way they have to be, allowing her to Wow the crowds with expression of simple expression emotions like anger and surprise.
Maybe you would ask 'why she isn't made with the face resemble as the real human's face?' Well, her creator have the answer for you, the Japanese National institute of Advance Industrial Science and Technology went for the manga appearance because 'If we had made the robot too similar to a real human, it would have been uncanny.' The other reason is that she used to be a fashion robot, but not only perform the ordinary fashion like the other catwalkers do. She was made to perform more than just that, more likely as the cosplayer which can compete with human cosplay, like Hatsune Miku anime wedding gown.
