Creepily realistic robot can hold conversations and answer questions. Meet Geminoid F, a Smiling Female Android. UPDATE2: Just added more photos and a video of the android. UPDATE: Ishiguro just told me that they won't be able to provide "any private information on the model" who served as the template for Geminoid F and that her identity will be kept "confidential. " Photo: Osaka University Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro unveiled today his latest creation: a female android called Geminoid F. The new robot, a copy of a woman in her twenties with long dark hair, can smile, frown, and change facial expressions more naturally than Ishiguro's previous androids.

Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University, is famous for creating a robot replica of himself, the Geminoid HI-1, a telepresence android that he controls remotely. In a press conference in Osaka, Ishiguro demonstrated how the android could mimic the facial expressions of the woman as she sat in front of a computer with cameras and face-tracking software. Here's a video I put together: Photos: Osaka University. 日本展示面部表情最接近人类的机器人. Donna Robot. Child-robot With Biomimetic Body (CB2) Japon Çocuk Robot CB2.
