HRP-4C

Honda, creators of Azimo, are at work again (via Telegraph). The result is called HRP-4C. For any practical purpose it's a useless gimmick (look at Youtube), but it's a fun project. Another thing, check out how they addressed the uncanny valley:

"If we had made the robot too similar to a real human, it would have been uncanny," said one of the inventors, humanoid research leader Shuji Kajita. "We have deliberately leant toward an anime style."

If they didn't tell me, I would not know. The face looks normal to me.

Maybe it's just PR.
