A Chinese company has released footage of a lifelike robot head that blinks, nods, and looks around in a convincing imitation of a real human face.
The video, posted to YouTube, shows the robot head’s quizzical expression as it appears to take in its surroundings. The head, created by robotics company AheadForm, might find use in research on human-robot interactions or in various industries, including customer service and entertainment.
Founded in 2024, AheadForm aims to make interactions between humans and robots feel more natural and engaging, according to the company’s website. The company aims to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) systems such as large language models (LLMs) with realistic robotic heads so that robots can understand and respond to people in real-time.
