In With The New, Out With Old – No Way!

I like to think of myself as a pretty modern girl, hip, cool, open minded and all that….

but robot model replacing the likes of Daria Werbowy, Kate Moss, or Naomi Campbell – No Way!

Apparently the HRP-4C has “battery-powered motors in her body and face, allowing her to imitate the expressions, gait and poses of a supermodel — up to a point”. I guess they are talking about catalogue supermodels, the Target and JC Penny Girls.

The only thing I can see the HRP-4C has in common with the real supermodels is the need to be thinner, since the 158 cm (5 ft 2 inch) high-tech model weighed in at 43 kg (95 lb), a slimmed down version from earlier versions just in time for her catwalk debut at one of Japan’s biggest fashion events.
