The Japanese manufacturer has a hyper realistic humanoid prototype, able to speak English, Japanese and sign language. It is destined to become a service robot.

Her name is Aiko Chihira and it would be a young woman almost like any other .. if it was not his battery and a kind of fixity in his eyes. Because the girl is actually a humanoid with a silicone skin out of the lab Toshiba in the month of October. The ETUC represents its first major international release.

A humanoid for services and recreation
Aiko Chihira is still a prototype, but the manufacturer hopes to commercialize by 2020 as a robot communication and home service. It could thus serve as hostess in companies. It is already able to speak in sign language and greet someone.
Thanks to its expertise in the field of industrial robots, Toshiba has developed an algorithm to coordinate the movements of its 43 actuators placed in his joints. This explains the fluidity of the kinematics. The next step is to implement the synthesis and voice recognition, and other sensors.
Too realistic robot?
Warm smile and blink, the resemblance to a human is striking and goes against the usual rules in robotics. In 1970, Masahiro Mori Japanese had indeed theorized a principle, that the rule of the strange valley. After a certain similarity threshold in a robot man would feel always a feeling of rejection for the machine. That is why the designers of the little robot from Aldebaran Nao did not want to design a too realistic humanoid, for example.
This does not seem put off this Toshiba develops humanoid, in collaboration with Osaka University and the Institutes of Technology Shibaura and Shonan.
