Scientists in Japan have developed an Avatar-style robot that mimics the movements of its human controller.Users of the Telesar V wear special equipment to direct the actions of the robot remotely.And it even allows them to see, hear and feel the same things as the android.
"When I put on the devices and move my body, I see my hands having turned into the robot hands. When I move my head, I get a different view from the one I had before," said researcher Sho Kamuro."It's a strange experience that makes you wonder if you've really become a robot."
Professor Susumu Tachi, of Keio University, said: "I think further research and development could enable this to go into areas too dangerous for humans and do jobs that require human skills."
