Abstract :
We have developed a humanoid robot (a cybernetic human called “HRP-4C”) which has the appearance and shape of a human being, can walk and move like one, and interacts with humans using speech recognition. Standing 158 cm tall and weighing 43 kg (including the battery), with the joints and dimensions set to average values for young Japanese females, HRP-4C looks very human-like. In this paper, we present ongoing challenges to create a new business in the contents industry with HRP-4C.
