A robot can look like any person.
Imagine, go to the museum, and there - Alexander Pushkin reads poetry. At home, your favorite actor or singer wonders how the day went. This is not fantasy, but reality. The Perm company "Promobot" has begun the serial launch of twin robots.
Administrator and personal interlocutor
The company created the world's first anthropomorphic machine, a humanoid android. The robot imitates a person's appearance, conveys emotions, answers questions posed, and is also able to integrate into business projects. They are intended for both commercial, professional and home use.
- A robot can be a consultant, administrator, employee of the MFC, bank, - says the creator of the twin robots Oleg Kivokurtsev. - We also plan to release robots for personal use. At home, he can be an interlocutor, companion, personal assistant, integrate into the smart home control system.
The robot can transmit more than 600 variants of human micromimics

The new robot can move its eyes, eyebrows, lips and other "muscles". Your personal assistant or consultant at the bank is able to reproduce more than 600 variants of human micromimics and convey human emotions as realistically as possible.

This is possible thanks to the company's own component base and special artificial leather technology. But it will not be possible to go out with a "friend". The robots are stationary.
- They do sedentary work. You don't need to move a lot for this. The robot is mobile: head, face, shoulder joint, - notes Oleg Kivokurtsev. - In robots for home use, only the shoulder joint and the head move. The bust is installed on a special communication platform and will be placed in a specialized plastic cube so that it does not take up much space at home so that it can be placed on a shelf.
The robots run on both battery and wire.
And read poetry, and take the order
“We can build a linguistic model based on the popular phrases of a particular person - the robot will communicate and answer questions using frequent expressions of the“original”, using a certain context of this person's knowledge,” emphasizes Alexey Yuzhakov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Promobot. - Imagine that an exact copy of Michael Jordan will sell a basketball uniform, and Alexander Pushkin will read his own poetry in a museum?
Depending on the configuration, the robot may have a standard set of phrases. This set depends on the function of use. If the customer wants to chat with the robot on a more abstract topic, then you can connect to the linguistic base of the company. There are several hundred thousand speech modules in seven languages.
The first robot double was Alex - Alexey Yuzhakov, the double of the chairman of the board of directors of the company. Alex successfully hosts some newscasts on one of the Russian TV channels.
Now the company has a lot of orders. Most are overseas companies.
