Robots will strut the catwalk alongside humans for the first time ever at London Fashion Week

A rolling robot will model couture designs at London Fashion Week for the first time ever. Silicon Valley robotics company Ohmni is partnering with Los Angeles-based designer Honee to send one of its telepresence robots down the runway in September. It's the latest example of how hi-tech devices are being outfitted for everyday use, from wearables to 3D-printed clothing. The robot is slated to walk the catwalk alongside human models on September 15th and 16th at an event presented by House of iKons at the Millennium Gloucester London Hotel. It will be wearing a Honee design, but the exact specifics of the ensemble are being kept under wraps until the event.
