This must be the most human-like robot ever developed. Not only does her face look quite realistic, HRP-4C is also capable of simulating several human emotions such as happiness, sorrow, and anger. At almost 160 cm, she is about the length of an average Japanese female. Her weight is only around 40 kilograms - impressive for such an advanced piece of technology! Her introduction words were : “Hello everybody, I am cybernetic human HRP-4C.”. It’s not yet the terminator, but you can see that robotics is advancing at a steady pace. You can always count on the Japanese to come up with awesome technologies.
Oh, HRP-4C cost 3 million dollars to develop. So we might have to wait a while before we can let one of her sisters roam around our houses.
