THIS is the most life-like robot suit ever – the cyber girl Repliee R-1. Based on a real five-year-old Japanese girl, this machine was built to look just like a human.

It has 50 sensors and a series of motors to help it move and has been built to help pensioners and disabled people move better.


Science is getting one more step closer to making the terminator. Just kidding. But is an amazing step in robotics and with mores law coming to the point of having a processor faster than a brain. It may not be too far off from AI or functional robots or androids.

hmmmm. i don't want people to think i am being mean, but honestly, why did they make a robot that look like it has down syndrome? i think that multiplys the creep factor greatly...why does the eyelids look like a skin graft? she looks like she was made from cadavers.

i think we are not thinking of practicality here. the obvious choice (if they want a lifelike robot) is to make it a child because the center of gravity is lower to the ground, and it is just easier to bubild a smaller robot than an older one. i think maybe if it's helping older people function, then it would freak them out much more if the robot was metal looking, or if it was an adult male size it could scare them also...but a cute little girl wuold be the best choice/
as to why in the hell they made it look like a challenged child i do not know, and i still say it looks like down syndrome.
as for the pedophile thing, c'mon now, get real. like the other user said, it's not likely to be anatomicly correct, and further more, dare i say this but oh well: i'd rather have some perv get down with a robo girl than a real kid....i.e. MY kid.

Ummm did you mean to reply to truthtellist? I am the "other user" who said its not anatomically correct. Everything I have said agrees with what you are saying here. Except for my joke that a robot that looks like the terminator would be neat.

So yeah, I think you me replied to me by mistake. Perhaps your reply was meant for truth tellist?
