The fembot rocks the runway

Things to Do

Photos of the "cybernetic human" HRP-4C, which opened Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo by walking the catwalk. The humanoid robot, having a female face and black hair and trimmed down to 43 kilograms (95 pounds).

It's her big catwalk debut! The "cybernetic human" robot named HRP-4C opened Japan Fashion Week on Monday, March 23 in Tokyo. Work it, girl!

The robot made a full turn and a short bow to the audience. No word yet on whether the 2.0 version will be programmed to sashay or throw attitude back at Tyra.

HRP-4C had a less-glamorous coming-out party earlier this month for reporters at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, Japan. She's trimmed down from 128 to 95 pounds just for this fashion show. Hope the girl doesn't have body issues. ...

The 62-inch tall black-haired fembot was designed to look like an average Japanese woman, assuming that the average Japanese woman has massive man-hands and wears a spacesuit.

HRP-4C hasn't cleared safety standards yet to work alongside humans. (We can think of a few supermodels we could say the same thing about.)

HRP-4C bows gently to the audience. Give her a round of applause! It's not easy to model with no clothes on.
