WORLD'S SMARTEST ROBOT

An eerily life-like robot has been turning heads at the World Robot Exhibition in Beijing last week. Named Android Geminoid F, the robot has a legion of fans, with some even describing her as 'sexy'.

She is designed act like a human with rubber 'skin' and a woman's face - but can't walk and has to be wheeled around.

The robot was created by Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratory at Osaka University who plan on creating a better model in the future.

The 5ft 6 inch android is capable of eye movements, response to eye-to-eye contact and can recognize body language.

Our final goal is creating some artificial intelligence by using this robot,' Kohei Ogawa, assistant professor said.

'Most voice recognition systems do not work, especially in this kind of noisy environment.

'In the future we're going to create some perfect AI system by using this robot.

The current version of Geminoid F cost $108,600 (£72,000), which Ishiguro hopes may take the technology closer to the mainstream.

She can smile, furrow her brows and move her mouth. It can also talk and sing - playing recordings, or 'mouthing' other people's voices.

The robot is equipped with motorized actuators, powered by air pressure, which allow her to 'copy' human facial expressions.

Geminoid F has already taken the film industry by storm, becoming the first android to star in a film.

Earlier this year, she co-starred in a Japanese movie named 'Savonarola', about the after-effects of a nuclear power plant meltdown.

Geminoid F - or Leona in the film - is referred to by director Koji Fukada as an 'actress,' and the android is even listed as a member of the cast in the end credits.
