Hiroshi Ishiguro, known for developing realistic-looking androids, created a new robot. He looks like a ten year old boy and most likely copies the facial expressions of the person, according to TechCrunch.
On the creation of realistic-looking androids and winodow is not as many engineers and organisations. This is partly due to the fact that realistically reproduce human facial expressions on face robot is quite difficult technically, so these robots are complex and expensive devices that are yet to find commercial applications. Some robots are world famous, for example, gynoid Sophia. Sofia knows how to keep the conversation going, to Express emotions, jokes and even speaks in Russian, but even the device of such level continue to cause the effect of “sinister valley”, so engineers continue to work on creating more sophisticated humanoid robots.

This humanoid robot with the face of a boy of ten, who has a pair of arms and a wheeled platform for asymmetric wheels, so the robot is in motion sways a bit, simulating how the human body moves when walking.
