Guests of Japan's World Expo opening on March 25 will be greeted by multilingual, rapping robots. The Actroid, shown here, was developed by Kokoro and Advanced Media. She's a twentysomething fembot with dewy skin, warm eyes, and enough AI to understand 40,000 phrases in each of four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. She also "performs rap music." Snip:
The humanoid can put on facial expressions suitable for the more than 2,000 types of answers it can give, but it may refuse to answer to some questions for "privacy reasons," making an X with her arms and bowing.
She also has a sense of irony. When asked if she is a robot, she says, "Y.e.s, I. a.m. a. r.o.b.o.t" in a disconnected voice and moves about clumsily. A moment later, she says "Just kidding" and starts a natural flow of movements. |

Don't forget about

Next generation: equip it with a electro-shocker. No need to run to the parents... And their security robot seemed pretty lame too. No weapons, no nothing. Not cool. :p |

I don't know of any TAs that are in Japan but I went to Expo 98 in Lisbon and some of the exhibits/pavillions were amazing - well worth the experience.
Not to mention all the hot european gals. :toothless |
