Fashion robot comes to the Japanese ramp
London:
Japanese scientists have deneloped a female humanoid, the
next supermodel. Scientists from National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology have designed a "cybernetic
human" that looks like an average Japanese woman. However, the
robot still needs to clear standards to share the catwalk with
human models. "Technologically, it hasn't reached that level,"
the Daily Express quoted Hirohisa Hirukawa, one of the robot's
developers as saying. "Even as a fashion model, people in the
industry told us she was short and had a rather ordinary figure,"
Hirukawa added. The black-haired robot, called HRP-4C is over
60 inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. The scientists revealed
that the robot could be used in amusement parks, events to attract
attention and simulations of human movement such as exercise
instructor. The female robot will appear in a Tokyo fashion
show, although without any clothes, in a special section just
for the robot next week.
