Human or Geminoid?

Posted February 17, 2014 1:00 PM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

You'll be pardoned for getting a little confused while watching a video showing so-called "Geminoids" along with the people they were modeled after. Geminoids are electromechanical devices designed to look and act like specific humans, explains this Design News piece, which includes links to several Geminoid videos. The mechanism behind Geminoid movements includes pneumatic actuators and air-flow control valves.
