Scientist Unveils Worlds First Robots Newscaster-(with Picture) by Nobody: 9:11am On Jul 03, 2014 |
Japanese scientist at Tokyo museum have unvieled a robots newscaster, an eerily human-like android that can speak clearly and smoothly. It has been named Kodomoroid a combination of Kodomo-a Japanese word meaning child and 'roid'-from the word Android. Kodomoroid is a girlish-looking multilingual robot that can recite news and weather reports from around the world in a variety of voices. With its silicon skin gleamining and artificial muscle, the robot moves its pink lips in time with the voice-over, even performing some human mannerisms such as twiching its eyebrows, blinking and swaying its head from side to side. Hiroshi Ishiguro, Robotics expert and Osaka University professor says the robot will be useful to research on how people interact with robots and on what diffentiates people from the robot.
