Robot Erica - Android locatie
ERICA. ATR Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratories Kyoto. Japan
ERICA was developed to communicate with people in various ways, through voice, body gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and touch. ERICA's appearance is designed to emulate the characteristics of beautiful Japanese women. Her voice is generated using high-quality text-to-speech technology. Pneumatic actuators move her body smoothly. The goal of the study is to develop autonomous, conversational androids that can communicate naturally with people and be socially engaged in daily life (site Ishiguro Lab).
