Dancing Singing Robot

[ashfire]

Has anyone else seen the dancing singing robot from Japan on the internet?
You think you are watching a real person with a face, hair and a dress except the legs are metal and has backup dancers.
It also has some moves.

I saw the news about this robot on Blastr website a few days ago.

All I have to say is, Skynet has arrive!

Science is really creepy XD.
But it is also awesome at the same time .

Is it me, or do "her" arms look kind of...I don't know, long?

[Yuki-Anne]

At what point do you look at your life and think, "I'm a backup dancer for a robot. A back up dancer. For a robot."

And until they make a robot that can dance like this, I will not be impressed.

I thought something looked a bit off. o_o

Haha, that was pretty much my reaction -- "I'm not sure whether this is really creepy or really cool. Or both."

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Okay, that was both creepy and cool. Anyone else think that having real background dancers worked against the display? Instead of showing how life-like the robot was, it revealed how um... 'robotic' it really was.

Related: I think these little guys are a lot more fluid and cuter XD

HRP-4C is interesting, but I agree that they shouldn't have used human back-up dancers, since it only underlines how inhuman the "idol" is. The Sony robots, on the other hand, manage to avoid weirding people out /because/ they look like robots. Well, in a human-like shape, but without a human face & all ;-}

Okay, the weird thing about that one is that I think if I walked into a store and that was behind the counter, I might not be able to tell that it wasn't human.

This had better be what I think it is.

*clicks*

I am disappoint.

The only correct thing to link to would be this.

[Yuki-Anne]

I... I had no idea such wonders existed.

THAT SONG.. IT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR O_O

Ahem, I know that wasn't the point of the link, but.. that song sounds so familiar T_T Or, at least has the same tune as another J-pop.. Even anime theme song >_<
