Japanese robo-mannequin


Image: A robotic mannequin named "Palette" strutting her stuff in Tokyo earlier today. Designed by
SGI Japan and Flower Robotics for the fashion industry, she packs a motion detector sensor and the ability to memorize and pose dozens of motion-captured movements. She was born for the runway, and runs on blow and celery sticks goes on sale later this year.
