One of the most lifelike and expressive robots built to date, using pnumatic pressure to create lifelike movements and expressions.

When programmed she can choreograph her speech with her movements.
Not for sale but you can rent her for a few grand (dollars not yen) for 5 days.

Also one thing I can’t explain, she’s wearing a hello kitty shirt.

Looks pretty nice, but the robot appears to be very stiff.

But, maybe in a few decades, robots will be indistinguishable from real people. That would be weird/fun/scary.
