A humanoid robot, known as ‘Han’ can smile, wince, wink, frown or even act drunk with the touch of a button using a mobile phone app. ‘Han’, which can mimic human expressions greeted visitors on April 18 at a Hong Kong electronics fair.
Han can also recognize people’s face, gender and emotional feelings like happy or sad and will interact with them by holding conversations with the help of about 40 motors and several cameras inside it’s eyes and chest.
A unique feature of Han is his human-like skin, which is created by a patented material called “Frubber”, or “Flesh Rubber”, an elastic polymer.
The developers Hanson Robotics hope androids like Han could have uses in hospitality, health care and entertainment Industries where communication is vital with different approaches of welcoming & entertaining people and showing care for older people.
