Hello Kitty Robot is Scary!

Posted 2416 days ago

Actroid DER2

Kokoro, a Sanrio Group company specializing in the design and manufacture of robots, unveiled its new Actroid DER2 Hello Kitty loving robot. It’s not the first time the Japanese have released a robot to do the work of humans. In this case, Actroid DER2 is a greetings and expo show robot that can be rented for 400,000 yen (US$3,500).

Does anyone else think this robot is freakishly scary looking? Someone get her a hairstylist and plastic surgeon. I think I’ll save my $3500 and rent a real flesh and blood model.

    She’s definitely an upgrade from the other robot that does work for humans, but a little makeover could help.

    The more realisitc these model becomes, the more freakier it gets haha. – Didn’t know that Sanrio was specializing in robots. Guess those cute little guys don’t work anymore.

    i thought that was real human that will promote the new robot, didn’t know that was the new robot itself. Only matter of time before they replace us. You can’t even tell them apart from an human, shit.

    This is cool. But for the same price, couldn’t you just hire a real person to greet people?

    Look closely, obviously, she’s not real, becoz of her skin tone and inhuman smile.
