Develop robot girl to accompany sick and elderly

Japanese engineers from Osaka University have designed a robot that looks like a girl of 5 years of age in order to escort the sick or elderly.
The android whose name at the moment is Repliee R-1, began in produr series in mid-October. It has about 50 sensors with different functions.

"The appearance of the robot is essentially one of its functions, but the effect of appearance must be evaluated independently," explained their developers.
