Japanese weddings use look alike robots
Japanese custom robot manufacturer Little Island displayed its new Look Alike Wedding Robot at the recent exhibited 2009 Tokyo International Gift Show. The robot doll is a follow up from their last year’s Look Alike Talking Robot.
The robot dolls are essentially just a plush PC itself (complete with a 500MHz Geode processor) with sensors that greet people when they detect someone nearby and can respond to voices and carry on a conversation. That is not new. What is new is these robot doll looks like you (created from your photograph image) and converse using your voice using prerecorded voice data which is enough to freak out any family relatives.
If you like robots and are thinking of marrying your Japanese girlfriend, the Look Alike Wedding Robots are about 80cm high, weigh 4kg and can be used in place of the traditional welcome boards seen at Japanese weddings.
