Anime’s Next Top Supermodel
The world's first robot supermodel has made its catwalk debut during Tokyo Fashion Week. The £1.37m HRP-4C humanoid has battery-powered motors in her face to help her flash a smile, lower her eyelids and sashay along a catwalk. Its facial features were modelled on the wide-eyed characters popular in Japanese "anime" cartoons.
FOOTNOTE: Demure the merrier.

ReplyDeleteI bet she feels like 2.1 million dollars and has loads of 'flex appeal'!
You mean the other super models are real?

Somehow modeling wasn't a career I ever thought would be displaced by automation.
