"Actroid Der" Hits Nextfest

Kokoro's "Actroid Der" is a female robot that features "lifelike silicon skin and a silky voice to match-- it's rented out to Japanese companies to act as a receptionist or to make high-tech presentations." Video from Nextfest 2006 after the jump.
Takeshi Mita, a director of Kokoro Company LTD, which makes the Actroid, said "companies want something special, it's a good advertisement or a promotion." The Actroids drew complimentary remarks from visitors such as French designer Philippe Starck

Well i admit im quite amazed by it. but not "blown away". If it should blow me away then they need to work on making the motions more human like and not jittery fx. every time the arm swings around the entire body wobbles.
