Japan’s previously introduced bishoujo android HRP-4C has been given the all but inevitable Hatsune Miku cosplay makeover and then made to sing hit Miku song “Melt”; the results can be seen below:
The unit is able to robotically shuffle about “like a fashion model”, but likely cannot manage any convincing dance moves, explaining the static nature of the performance.
All in good time…

I can see it, robot cosplay while it didn't dance or wave and point a leek like Miku Hatsune does, it did its best. The robot makers really need to work on that high pitched scream since it makes every one shreak, its really as bad as a bad set of speakers.
for all the people out there saying that she (the robot) should have the actual seiyuu face: the HRP-4C wasnt supposed to have her face on it. Her vocal output is processed using Vocaloid software, hence her wearing Miku's attire, basically just for the lols. In real life this wouldn't be far off what she really looks like, maybe slightly less chubby cheeks and of course blue eyes.
Though, could you imagine if all humanoids were modelled in the manga style? Awesome, or weird?

This is just the beginning. Who knows (and really, who knows), in a few decades Miku will become a classic icon of robotics instead of just a program.
SHE NEEDS TO MOVE!! and have boobs that jiggle and other stuff lacking big time lol
Who gives a shit about movement?
As long as I can fuck it, I'm all set. :3
mmm...
so... shee is not like our miku-sama,
but this is the firs step to she live
or maybe...
the engineers are miku-tards!!! :3
i see no point to such stupid investment of technology, i don't mean Miku, i mean the creation of robots, geez
market for work keeps shrinking and this idiotic scientist are so eager to help the capitalist pigs have all for themselves and leave the rest of the world out
This is not Miku-Sama!
*fap*
Ugly o.o....
This is freaky.....in so many different levels.
Even for a robot, she's rather unattractive- and inexpressive-looking.
This thing is not Miku.
she should be dancing, fail
They tried to jump the uncanny valley and hit the wall on the other side.
Though she is still less terrifying then the NS5s in irobot.
Mommy, I'm scared....
AWESOME!!!!! but... really she needs more corporal activity :/
The line I'm hearing as "Watashi wa Kawaii" should be "Watashi wa Kowai"...
I think I'm stuck in the uncanny valley again. Shit!
The new chucky, run for your life!!!!
srsly
i want a Aegis from Persona 3
Miku+HRP-4C

shrugs
Ha! One step closer persocoms!!!!!
Seriously, give credit where it's due, that was really cool. Given that a few years ago this stuff was in the realm of Isaac Asimov and other science fiction writers.
So....soon they will get the voice/singing abilities up and improved as well as softer/smoother curves and skin like material all over and even better body movement.
I still say that it's neat as hell.....
__Scares me too.
You guys are all babies! I for one welcome our robot overlords!
im scared
Does it sing Radiohead Creep?
I like how they attempted to create how Miku will look as a human, but they fail at the body... Looks pretty scary.
creepy...
Completely. Creeped. Out.
at last!now its just a matter of time for the definitive ver. :D
Reality hurts. Alot.
GAWD HO DO I GET THAT THING OUT OF MY HEAD?!
You don't. It's permanently imprinted in your mind.
lol at :26 seconds when she hits that high note, it sounds hella creepy.
these things hang out in the void created by the uncanny valley idea and are creepy
they could have worked on the face model more kinda of a let down but a really cool idea that miku might become real
Her face just downright scares me...
Pinhead
Is that you Bill O'Reilly?
a dutch wife with a cd player stuffed inside can do better!
that remind me of gintama 'fenis monja'. Tama can do it better
interesting.
Also Hatsune Miku Cosplay Robot Sings “Melt”
I kinda thought people melted from her song :D
This would be how chobits began: as creepy bottish dolls.
The mouth only moves up and down... no quirks or other movements...
The future = something more human like.
Now we are all one step closer to having our very own persocom. Mark my words one day Japan will be making them, and they better not but the damn reset button in the vagina. It will be a glorious day indeed.
I just hope they don't ban the loli models.
Don't worry, there still would be loli models, in the black market ;)
For everyone's anime-history betterment, Chobits [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chobits] actually began with Angelic Layer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelic_Layer], but I still see your point.
From the Chobits wiki: "The manga is set in the same universe as Angelic Layer, taking place a few years after the events of that story, and like Angelic Layer, it explores the relationship between humans and electronic devices shaped like humans."
...
OTL
those dead eyes
You'd think they'd make its somewhat beautiful, not like a Mongolian peasant.
I don't see anybody fapping.
Im scared... but being this the future... i think than maybe we will see really fapable bots at least on my life time.
I will not mind to be treated by a army of nurse-bots when i grew older.
I think it would actually be more feasible to convert people into 2D representations rather than make 3D manifestations of non-humans. Think of that latest Bruce Willis movie ‘Surrogates’. A 2D avatar of myself projected into virtual animespace having sex hentai-style with other 2D characters is probably far more doable (and fappable imho), if it weren’t for the fact that the non-anime-loving mainstream seems to look down on 2D in favor of 3D despite all the pathetic attempts made to overcome the uncanny valley.
I would recommend Dennō Coil [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denno_Coil]-esque computerized glasses for this.
We could program such glasses to re-draw everything they see in the visual field as an anime-styled utopia.
That would:
1) Reduce the social inhibitions of 2D-cons
2) Make everyone around you instantly beautiful. Even you, if you're not satisfied with your real appearance and others had on such glasses as well.
3) Give basement Otaku an excuse to go out and get real lives, find significant others, etc.
I've been envisioning anime conventions years from now, with everyone wearing such glasses...
Is this the future of cosplay?
Reality version 1.5 ?
Do no wanna! I find amusing to make fun of fat cosplayers at anime cons. That's actually the only reason I go to those events this days...
Want!
that would give beer goggles a whole new meaning...
After sufficient consideration... that's absolutely genius.
augmented reality for the duration of a con or tradeshow.
i think i would like to c the interview more than hearing the song...
That's.... not really the Miku... that I imagined.
Makes me sad... -;_;
the high pitched voices are hurting my ears
now i'm really want to say this..
"3D pigs disgusting!!!"
AND SO IT BEGINS
this is just nasty
Nice Forbidden Vally you've got there, I am officially creeped out.
ta raro el invento ... pero al menos van progresando ... (un poco mas de figura y carisma y yatta!!!!)
just move the head?
Holy mother of do not want!
*Uncanny Valley
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UncannyValley
Uncanny valley is uncanny...
This.
If they really want to make the pilgrimage out of that valley, they ought to learn something from these Dancing Japanese Robots [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZzLAsHiGHU] and the 2D-to-3D artistic conversion stylings of the recently featured artist Kanzeon.
That way the robot would have:
1) Nearly perfect human-like movement capacity
2) A much more passable physical appearance
So long as they followed the above linked prototypes.
Then all that scarecrow would be missing is a brain and a Doctorate in Thinkology [http://www.great-quotes.com/cgi-bin/viewquotes.cgi?action=search&orderby=&Movie=The Wizard of Oz&startlist=90]...
She looks creepy... and kinda fat O_o
If you can afford a robot, you should be able to afford a camera tripod. Or at least another robot to hold the camera steady.
THAT'S HELLA CREEPY!!!!!!!!!
3d robot <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 2d version
Hatsune has been raped of her moe !
GIVE IT BACK ! GIVE US BACK THE MOE MIKU !!! T~T
The Sexaroids are coming... ^_^
Sir ~
I am (always) intrigued by your explanations and ideas.. concerning said subjects concerning Robots.
I agree with you on all points.
I think that (soon/near future) that the evolution and improvements of such machinery will surpass human and we will not be able to know/tell the difference between them.
Its only a matter of time...
I said this (also) when I watched CG taking off, that CG would replace actors in films and commercials.
~ and it has already happened.
They should model these robots on the shapes of real seiyuu so that they don't look so creepy.
...really, really, REALLY creepy.
they should just just use hachune miku doing levan polka song instead...
instead of going for realism. use cute and simple movements will do
For a moment i thought that was cosplay actually. Dear God. Seriously, if you're creating a Miku atleast make it cuter. Lack of moe
-1
Slightly creepy but i enjoyed it
Creepy indeed..... >_< Huhuh....
i liked Hatsune Miku.. until they made this.
If I've never seen Hatsune Miku before on nico, I'd probably say she looks pretty good for a robot. The face looks pretty human-like too.
Sadly, I'm spoiled by seeing the anime version. So this robot I'm seeing here looks fugly. They should of made the face way more anime-like.
+1
scary o_O
i though it was a fat chick...
Me too! Her "cheeks" look bulky.
Don't worry. The compact model will soon be made!
she only needs to say 2 things: onichan and ikuuuuuuu, so this is a waste
too ugly
and wtf, it sings 2 voices the time lol
it seems the only robotic thing is the head
well think ill get one in like twenty years
Cover it with a kigurumi skin,please...
Bewtter with a black plastic bag... specially the face.
Leek missing
do not want. D:
ugly robots will rule the world X_X gotta make them more beautiful before they develop higher intelligence >_>"
nice, kawaii
Well be lucky they didn't teach it to load a Gun a fire it yet.If they did they would have a issue.
