Erica, A Japanese Robot, Will Start Her News Anchor Career In April
Erica, a 23-year-old Japanese robot, is all set to make her debut as a news anchor in April 2018. The robot, which looks remarkably like a young woman, was created by Hiroshi Ishiguro, the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University, in 2014. In a documentary conducted by the Guardian on Erica in December, Ishiguro described his creation as "the most beautiful and most human-like autonomous android in this world." However, there is still a long way to go before Erica can move and walk around like a human. At the moment, the robot's arms and legs are not functional.
