# Robot-Like Costumes Japan Trend Shop's Robot Costume Mimics the ASIMO Robot By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-08-25 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-costume References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/211679279031784701/ASIMO-Robot-Costume-Suit) & [japantrendshop](http://www.japantrendshop.com/asimo-robot-costume-suit-p-1322.html) This robot costume transforms its wearer into a living version of [Honda's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uni-one) mini ASIMO robot. This costume from the [Japan Trend Shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amichan) is a fully body suit consisting of a head piece, body, gloves and shoes. Although the robot still has body parts that resemble a human's, the suit fully disguises the wearer's body and facial features to make its wearer look more like a machine. Wearing this suit would be a great way to pull a prank on someone, but as the Japan Trend Shop notes, you will need help to get in and out of this suit. Other than a helping hand, you'd need to complete this look by busting out your best robot moves to make this costume all the more convincing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Robot Costumes:** This trend of robot costumes presents opportunities for disruptive innovations in interactive entertainment and experiential marketing. - **Disguise Technology:** The development of disguising technology in costumes like these opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in theatrical performances and immersive experiences. - **Human-robot Interaction:** The trend of robot-like costumes encourages innovation in the field of human-robot interaction, exploring how humans perceive and interact with humanoid machines. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating robot costumes into live shows, virtual reality experiences, and themed attractions. - **Marketing:** The marketing industry can leverage the trend of robot costumes to create attention-grabbing campaigns, experiential activations, and viral social media content. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion and apparel industry can embrace disruptive innovation by collaborating with technology companies to create high-tech robot-like costumes for special events, performances, and fashion shows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consumer-Targeted Humanoids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noetix-robotics-bumi.md) - [Candy Collector Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy.md) - [Advanced Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ameca.md) - [Humanoid Household Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1x-neo-beta.md) - [Wearable Robotic Limb Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jizai-arms.md) - [Life-Sized Clog Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-costume.md) - [Halloween-Ready Animatronic Line-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-animatronics.md) - [Remote-Controlled Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-humanoid-robot.md) - [Consumer-Ready Exoskeletons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enhanced-robotics-sportsmate5.md)
