The science fiction fantasy of human-like robots is already coming true.Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro can literally be in two places at once, skipping school to enjoy a day in the park,while at the same time conducting a seminar at Osaka University.That's because Professor Ishiguro has created Geminoid―his android double.This is not our standard android. The Geminoid means twins.And a division of geminoid is teleoperated android of an existing person.Geminoid looks exactly like Ishiguro down to the tiniest details.To achieve this lifelike appearance, Ishiguro made a silicon mold of his body and use real human hairs.His purpose in recreating himself?So basically I am developing this kind of robot for understanding what is a human.The geminoid can be remotely controlled via a motion capture system，that tracks Ishiguro's mouth movements and allows the robot to speak with Ishiguro's voice.Ishiguro has also given his creation other human-like mannerisms.
