Robot Actress Makes Stage Debut In Japan

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-wee-bit-freaky dept.

Robotron23 writes "The BBC reports that a robot named Geminoid-F has made its acting debut (video) in Japan. The short play in which it appeared was a sellout with the Japanese public, who were curious to see the robot's performance. However an actress who co-starred pointed out that the lack of human presence made the droid difficult to act alongside."

    Actually, the first robot actor ever was Keanu Reeves.
