Geminoid DK: Your Robot Twin

We’re one step closer to realistic android robots that resemble living human beings.  Henrik Scharfe, a Danish professor, recently worked with Japan’s Advanced Telecommunications Institute (ATR) and Japanese entertainment company Kokoro on the creation of a lifelike android that is a copy of himself.  This android is named DK and is third in a line of Geminoid robots that include HI-1 and F1.  Japan is currently in the forefront of the development of lifelike robots.

A Geninoid is a remote-controlled slave robot that mimics the facial expressions and body movement of a human master through a motion-tracking system and an Internet link.  Find out more on the Geminoid DK Facebook page.  You can also view amazing footage of a Geminoid DK robot in action in this YouTube video:
