Fashion Model Robots
The HRP-4C Is Japan's Answer to Unaging Female Models
This video shows Japan’s Naked Fashion Robot. OK, so she's not really naked, I guess, as her android skin is embedded with armor-like plates. Let’s call it "robot-naked." Anyway, the HRP-4C is a walking, talking, girly fashion model. Developed by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), the robotic runway model can strike poses and make faces - becoming the "life" (again, not sure if this applies) of the party.
