Have you
ever wondered when (not a matter of if, but when) robots will start replacing
human beings at their jobs? Well, wonder no more; it has already started!
In the new Japanese
disaster film Sayonara,
Geminoid F, a robot actress, has one
of the main roles in this movie, and it’s credited as a member of the cast.
This human-like robot was designed with a remote-controlled rubber face, able
to portray human expressions. The “actress”
even made an appearance on the red carpet at this year’s Tokyo International Film
Festival!
Geminoid F was designed by Hiroshi Ishiguro, a robot
designer from Osaka University in Japan, with an approximated cost of 100,000
euros.
Sayonara opens in Japan on November 21.
It seems
the android revolution is underway!
