A Japanese firm has developed a mannequin robot that can follow your movement, strike a pose for you and spy on you and what you are buying.
The female robot codenamed Palette uses motion-capture technology to recreate the movements of supermodels. It caan also judge the age and sex of shoppers and even identify the bags they are carrying and pass the info along for marketing. She will be available in two versions, the whole body without legs or just the upper torso for jewelry displays. If well recepted, expect to see her with legs along with male and child models. Oh, and did I mention she has no face? The designer says this would distract from the items being modeled.
