Part 2/9:
The fascination with humanoid robots has persisted for decades, but female humanoid robots are carving out a unique niche due to their capacity to bridge the gap between humans and machines. Unlike traditional robots, which are often limited to functional roles, these machines are designed for deeper interaction.
One remarkable example is Geminoid F, a humanoid robot developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro at Osaka University. Geminoid F boasts a face equipped with 30 actuators, enabling it to replicate a multitude of human expressions, from smiles to frowns. The lifelike features, coupled with natural eye contact and blinking, create an uncanny sense of connection.
