Kokoro's Robotic Head and I-Fairy

 The International Robot Exhibition 2009 started today in Tokyo and you will be seeing lots of robot news coming out from my home town in the next couple of days. 

  Just in through Moriyama-san's blog,  Kokoro Company (know for the Actroid series)is announcing two new products.   

 One is a robotics head based on the technology they developed for Actroid.

 The other is the I-Fairy which is a robotic receptionist that looks like a character from a Japanese comic book. I-Fairy seems to still be just a "concept" and it is not clear at this point whether an actual robot will be present at the show.

   An update : Kokoro will formally be announcing the I-Fairy in Las Vegas in January at 2010 International CES.

 Another update: I-FAIRY makes it debut at CES 2010
