This unique MH-2 robot will be firmly seated on your shoulder (MH stands
for miniature humanoid if you need to know), and it is powered by a
rather large backpack that is filled with servos. These servos will no
doubt animate the robot with a rather impressive range of motions that
encapsulate its head, body and arms, enabling it to strike a range of
poses to mimic the person whom you are having a conversation with. Of
course, the person will need to wear some sort of motion capture setup
in order for their actions to be “sent” over to the robot itself.
Sounds too cumbersome for everyday use? Perhaps, but with
miniaturization thrown into the mix as well as the advancement of
technology, you can be sure that this particular idea might even be able
to take off in a big way in due time. At least you can have a virtual
conversation with expressions thrown in to a certain degree with a
family member or friend thousands of miles away.
