Meet Repliee: The Life-Like Robogirl

THIS is the most life-like robot suit ever – the cyber girl Repliee R-1.

Based on a real five-year-old Japanese girl, this machine was built to look just like a human.

It has 50 sensors and a series of motors to help it move and has been built to help pensioners and disabled people move better.

Japanese boffins from Tsukuba University developed the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) suit using flexible silicon skin.

And robotics company Cyberdyne Inc are set to start making it on a mass scale on Friday.

Freaky.

    I know if I met it in a dark alley, it would help me move… or have a movement, I’m not sure which.

    I wonder if this thing comes with a sex-port or if you have to pay extra?

    So, it’s a 5 year old looking robot girl. I wonder if the market they are going after is child rapists. When they make a boy robot they can market to molesters and NAMBLA members.
    “If it saves only one child”.
