consists of a high-resolution robot camera and network humanoid
robot. Developed by JVC, the camera has a single 8-megapixel color
CSMO sensor, and is about 1/18 the weight and 1/19 the size of its
predecessor with the same resolution the company developed in
2002.
Developed by the NICT, the humanoid robot has humanoid
arms and hands with five fingers with probing capability. A person
wearing data gloves embedded with join bending sensors can
manipulate the robot's arms and fingers via a network.
