Geminoid DK: Your Robot Twin
Friday, March 04th, 2011
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.
