"Mannequins have been static but this will pose for the nearest person by sensing his or her position,"robot designer Tatsuya Matsui told a news conference.
"It makes the product the mannequin wears look more attractive, increasing consumers' appetite to buy," said Matsui, who heads Flower Robotics Inc.
The female robot, code-named Palette, can draw inspiration from the world's most beautiful women, using motion-capture technology to replay the movements of supermodels.
Palette will double up as an industrial spy, with the maker planning to program it to judge the age and sex of shoppers and even identify the bags they are carrying and pass along the information to stores for marketing purposes.
"Consumer attention would be diverted to the face if there were one,"said Matsui, the designer, noting he wanted customers to focus on the clothes or jewellery the mannequin wears.
Faceless. Model and spy.
Sounds like a 007 female spy to me . ^^
Still...

It's really the face that makes the model, honey.***
