Meet Jia Jia, The “Robot Goddess”
A new interactive robot and probably the most realistic-looking robot, named Jia Jia, was revealed on the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). It is currently dubbed as the ‘robot goddess’ because it looks like a real woman!
One would have a twice look to distinguish that Jia Jia is actually a robot. She flaunts a long flowing hair and rosy red cheeks just like a human.
According to DailyMail, it was designed to show natural eye movement, speech that syncs with the lip movements and is programmed to call her creators, ‘lords’.
“Hello everyone, I’m Jia Jia. Welcome!” This is the how Jia Jia greeted the audience at the USTC as during the reveal quoted by Xinhua.
When somebody will take a picture of the humanoid too close, she will say, “Don’t come too close to me when you are taking a picture. It will make my face look fat.”
Chen Xiaoping, together with his colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China, took three years to complete the robot. They’ve successfully made the robot speak, show micro-expressions, move its lips and body, and also to do a submissive manner using her head.
“We hope to develop the robot so it has deep learning abilities. We will add facial expression recognition and make it interact more deeply with people,” Chen said.
Jia Jia still can’t cry or laugh this time. It will be added in the development areas.
Chen and his team currently won’t put the robot in mass production because she is ‘priceless’.
