Earlier this month we mentioned Korea’s new EveR-1 Android, well here she is in action. The video is in Korean but the images alone give us a pretty good idea of what EveR-1 is capable of.

EveR-1 is said to have several life-like facial expressions that include: joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. The android capable of moving its upper torso but isn’t quite ready to stand or walk.

EveR-1’s creators indicated: “We are working on upgrading the android with the aim of making it move its legs by the end of this year. It will be able to sit down and stand up by then.”

This video was just as startling to me as the pictures of Repliee but in a way it also put the android back into perspective. There are a few things about the Repliee Q1 that still giveaway her mechanical nature. There’s a slight jerk or roughness to her motion and of course her eyes are somewhat emotionless.

I can only imagine what this demo would have been like with fluid motion and dilating pupils. It’s kind of odd to see the science fiction of my youth become science fact before my very eyes. This is an exciting time to live in, I can only imagine how far the field of robotics will have advanced by the time I’m in my later years.
