Advanced vision sensors allow them to look into the eyes of the listener while holding a conversation with him/her. It can also interpret words and sentences, with the help of speech recognition software. Some of the later versions of the humanoid robot (Repliee R1) can speak in different voices, and has a language repository of more than 40,000 phrases from four languages. The Actroid is also engineered to mimic human movements and expressions in real time, and was originally developed to serve as a receptionist. ensures that the robot reacts differently to different kinds of touches, such as a gentle caress and a nudge.

Artificial intelligence software enables it to react to, and avoid, sudden motions like a slap.

Coming to its capabilities, Actroid can blink, shift in its seat, move its eyes and head, and even replicate the motions associated with breathing.Īll of these movements are controlled by a specially-designed pneumatic system, featuring servomotors that are powered by compressed air.

As pointed out by the developers, its skin is fashioned out of silicone, which is what lends it its remarkable life-like appearance. The robot, which looks like a young Japanese woman, is regarded as a pioneering example of a fembot or gynoid. One of the earliest androids created by the scientists at Osaka University, Actroid made her first appearance at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo, way back in 2003. In the future, Erica could be used as a customer service or even a household robot. During Erica’s debut press conference, we also got a glimpse of her humorous side when she answered a reporter’s intrusive question about her age with “that’s a slightly rude question … I’d rather not say”.Įach of her utterances is accompanied by facial expressions that are incredibly realistic. She cannot, however, walk on her own as of yet.

Jointly developed by researchers from the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International as well as Kyoto and Osaka universities, this futuristic android comes equipped with the latest speech technologies that in turn enable her to understand and respond to people’s questions. He is capable of interpreting facial expressions, and can easily tell when you are happy or sad. According to the developers, Han relies on highly-specialized cameras and voice recognition technology to discern human presence and also, determine their age and gender. Showcased for the first time at the 2015 Global Sources Electronics Fair in Hong Kong, this amazingly-expressive automaton can hold conversations, make jokes, read people’s facial expressions, flirt and even pretend to be drunk. David Hanson, Han is the robotic best friend you’ve always wanted. The brainchild of Hanson Robotics founder Dr. Now we are working on her arms and torso to give very natural, fluid body language. We had been focusing on perfecting her skin, facial expressions, and so on, so for now Asuna is really just a head. So in 10 years we will marry AI and life like geminoids in perfection. We already have 20 year’s experience making androids in the lab.

Speaking about this spectacular robot, CEO of A-Lab Takeshi Mita said: At present, however, her movements are limited to blinking, yawning and a few other endearing expressions, controlled entirely by a remote human operator. Asuna boasts flawless skin as well as intricate facial features including ears that are “soft and squishy” like real human ears.
