Japanese
boffins have created a robot which they think is good enough to hit the catwalk
as a model. (And probably cheaper, sub.ed.)
The HRP-4C robot is 158cm tall and weighs 43kg including battery
and fails a bit because she is a bit short. However she does move correctly and
would be a good clothes horse if she ever got a job as a model.
HRP-4C moves
like a model and has a fairly creepy real look to her if she had skin we guess
there would be a large number of geeks who would try to offer her a date.
