android double for Christmas
They will be built by Japanese robotics firm Kokoro, which is best known for its line of attractive Actroid receptionist humanoids.
The company will create the sitting robot out of silicone with the same face, body shape, hair and eyes of the recipient. Their speech will be based on recordings of the owner’s voice.
The android’s facial expressions and upper body will be modeled on the movements of the buyer.
