For your interest - Repliee Android video

[InNM]

Here is a link to a video of Repliee, a life like female android. It is about research in human like robots in Japan. Made in 2005. http://199.246.67.28/exnmedia/exn20050324-android.asf
Japan is doing a lot of R&D in humanoid robotics.

why bother making a human robot? thats probably the hardest robot to make! one jerky movement and it will break any illusion of it being alive. but it looks very real:)

it uses air tubes instead of mechanical parts.

but it looks scary !

this is some stuff that can be abused. on the new bionic woman, there was a scene where they were making this guy do all kinds of stuff via computer via stuff attached in his body. this is easily possible not only from this video but from the prosthetics that some people have where all they have to do his think and it moves the prosthetic.

Love the shoes!!:)

I got really disappointed with the shoes when he turned them on. :p I was hoping for them to be like, jumping and such. And the wire between the two isn't any fun. But that definitely must have been a fun project. :D

@Repliee. This is just prove that we're getting closer to a robotics world. That's insane, love it. <3

Sorry, but that one is fake.
It's 3D CGI.
