Elegant Japanese reception ladies may look servile and humble out.
People Animal
But they are expensive to operate. Not least, they should be able languages other than Japanese, which is not an everyday occurrence in a country that many foreigners’ eyes is enough by itself.
So what is more natural than to replace her with a robot?
remain silent
Toshiba has made the CEATEC exhibition, now underway in Chiba just outside Tokyo.
“lady” named Aiko Chihara, and is currently little expansive. She can only move her lips to simple phrases and express themselves with sign language. Japanese Sign Language. But Toshiba says they have the ambition to learn “her” English sign language too.
Responds to command
And we’re not talking just about the way “she” move your hands , but also about the commands she can understand.
Aiko can only respond to pre-programmed commands, and some artificial, autonomous intelligence has “she” is not.
more human less robot
But still believe Toshiba that this is a great step forward in robot history. What is new is mainly the way “she” moves on and especially facial expressions.
In other words, a good bit further towards a humanoid robot, although this model can not do more than to move in a certain way when someone says a particular word or a particular phrase.
Prolonged research
Aiko is the result of a lengthy collaboration between technology environments at several Japanese universities, with Osaka University (see more projects from them HERE) leading the way.
