Humanoid robots stole the show at the World Robot Exhibition in China this week. The Xiaoluo humanoid robot, created by Tami Intelligence, can interact with a human standing in front of it by imitating human gestures. The exhibition is a part of the three-day World Robot Conference, which also includes a forum and a robot contest for elementary school and junior high school teams. In addition to being able to mimic gestures and body language, the robot also has an internal camera that allows for real-time video monitoring. However, the Android Geminoid F, developed in the Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratory at Osaka University, was the main attraction of the conference; the lifelike humanoid interacted with exhibitors, using voice recognition technology, although the company admits that improvements still need to be made.
