Professor Hiroshi Ishoguro create android (robot man) was a female. This robot is able to laugh and smile look exactly the same as human expression. By using motion sensor system, the robot is called Geminoid TMF can move his rubber face to imitate a smile, which expands and teeth with a grim expression on his brow furrowed.Ishoguro, professor at Osaka University to develop this android with a team of researchers with a robot maker Kokoro. Geminoid TMF is a model of a young Japanese girl. "I feel like having a twin brother," said the woman whose face was made android. The developers also said they expect the robot will be used in real life situations, such as in hospitals.
"We have obtained data showing that the robot provides a psychological safety to patients by nodding his head and smiled at them, when the patient is checked by a doctor," said a spokesman for Kokoro, Satoko Inoue, Sunday, April 4.
A new technology always creates fear and negative opinions, but the researchers wanted to create a robot that can express things that are similar to human emotions. Geminoid TMF is equipped with 12 drivers, supported by air pressure and motion can be synchronized to mimic real human existence.
Ishiguro turned out to have designed some robots that are very similar to humans some time before, even making one that describes himself. He said that some day robots will be able to fool people by pretending that they are human.
