Female fashion-bot — the real Japan
New robot poses like a fashion model
- Kyodo - ABC News - 22 July ….The Robot Research Institute at the New Industry Research Organisation hopes the robot will be used for fashion and other promotional events…
….slim to give it a feminine touch while its body frame is made of aluminum to make it lighter and cut costs. The robot’s movements can be controlled by mobile phone.
“Controlled by mobile phone” makes this fashion robot sound 110% like the average Japanese female in her teens and twenties, ha, ha. And, with the robot being, “slim to give it a feminine touch,” as it shows off the latest fashions, the robot sounds more Japanese than most Japanese women.
Back in 2006, the 3Yen had a report on the “Palette” robot mannequins. The Palette fashion robot could detect human movements and react as it strikes poses that have been computer-captured from best of human fashion models. You can see this fem-bot in action at a Tokyo department store window in the short, 20-second video below.
