Geminoid



Here's the latest robot from the Geminoid series created by Hiroshi Ishiguro for the Kokoro company. This is by far the most expensive and technologically advanced way that Japan has ever given me the creeps.

  3. Up close you can totally tell it's not a real human, but from far away it blends in. Weird...

  6. When I saw the first video, I though it was a guy doing an excellent robot impression. It took till the second video to see that he was just a head and torso.

  8. This is Danish and the guy was teaching when I was studying (Aalborg University, Denmark). AND I have been ½ year at Ishiguro's Lab. So my former professor was "copied" by my former professor... that's wack!

  9. Wow this is so weird and yet so cool... I wonder what people reaction would be if they start walking around the city.

  10. It has such big, cute eyes. The happy face in the first video made me burst out laughing. This is an easier robot to handle than the ones that've been on this site previously, for some reason. Maybe because it's not talking? Not that all of the other ones did...

    ... huh.

    What is it, then?

  14. Honestly, I think this guy has come the closest to surpassing the uncanny valley.
