FT Robot: Something in the Way She Moves
Scifi Tech Blog Writes:
Robo-Garage’s resident genius Tomotaka Takahashi demonstrated graceful FT Robot on the runway at New York Japan Society’s Tech Epoch. The slender, diminutive FT, driven by one on-board computer, two gyroscopes, 23 motors, and the power of love, is just over a foot tall.
Takahashi and Kyoto University’s Robo-Garage, known for their work on realistic robot movement and gaits,consulted with professional models to make FT’s movements distinctly feminine, and lifelike. Takahashi believes that half of all robots will be “female” in the near future.

Interesting concept. The feminine movements are a bit exaggerated. Seems like they based the walk and hip stance on runway models rather than the movements of real women…
Are you saying leggy supermodel Gisele Bundchen isn’t a real woman?
Seriously unimpressive.
Concept = OK, realization = well, I’ve seen better.
Eli - are you smartass? Show me better realisation of woman movement of robot, or just shut up!
