Telenoid R1

The R1 model, released in August 2010, is approximately 80 cm tall, weighs 5 kg and is made out of silicone rubber.

The primary usage of the Telenoid R1 is an audio and movement transmitter through which people can relay messages over long distances.

The Telenoid R1 has a minimalistic design; it is roughly the size of an infant with a bald head, a doll-like face, and automated stubs instead of arms.

[3] A webcam or other video capturing device can record a person's movements and voice and send them to the R1 using Wi-Fi connection.

Researchers shared that they hope the Telenoid R1 will be used mainly as a communication device that can be applied to work, education, and elderly care.

The materials for this robot include Ishiguro's own hair along with silicone rubber, pneumatic actuators, and various electronic parts.

The Geminoid F can show facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning, in a more natural looking way than Ishiguro's previous androids.

The goal in making the Geminoid F was to create a robot that can display a wide range of facial expressions using less actuators than earlier models.

[6] Geminoid F co-starred in the 2015 Japanese film Sayonara, promoted as "the first movie to feature an android performing opposite a human actor".
