Hiroshi Ishiguro Lab · Humanoid · 2010
A female-appearance teleoperated android unveiled in 2010 by Hiroshi Ishiguro (ATR / Osaka University) with animatronics firm Kokoro, following the male Geminoid HI-1 (2006). Modelled on a real woman, Geminoid F has silicone-rubber skin, real human hair and a fibre-reinforced-plastic skull over a metal-and-plastic frame. Pneumatic actuators drive its facial structure; it performs breathing and blinking autonomously and is otherwise teleoperated to study human-robot interaction, presence and the 'uncanny valley'. It has appeared on stage in theatre productions.
