Fembot!!

Synopsis: Engineers of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Media Interaction group have developed a Fembot, a female robot,HRP-4 which can sing,dance,breathe,tilt its head,blinks,opens her mouth and show facial expressions mimicking a singer. This was done using breathe analysis software and mouth movement observations. This robot danced with a bunch of other human performers on stage and it was difficult to identify the robot in the group. This team has also developed this robot to breathe realistically by modelling the breathe of real people. The robot tilts its head,feels the beat, rhythm and shows human emotions as the real singers do. Opinion: I feel this is a break through in robotics to develop such a robot which can ape human emotions,movements and also can breathe realistically. This robot is surely gonna give the pop stars and divas a run for their money!!
