It seems that this robot inspired by the famous Digesting Duck. This robot is designed by new media and performance artist Taeyoon Choi. Taeyoon Choi designed this digesting photo taking duck with the ability to take photograph, print the photograph, and with WiFi connection the robot is able to display the photo. In taking the photograph the digesting photo taking duck uses a sensing flash of light that installed on its eye. After it took photograph the printer installed inside its body could process the result directly. Amazingly this digesting photo taking duck is able to upload photo to Flickr with the WiFi connection equipped on it.

A London designer named Kevin Grennan created weird robotic of armpit with its hair too. Getting more weirdoes this robotic armpit gets sweat just like ours. Grennan thought that with the use of odor the interaction between human and robotic will improve. Like the example in the Grennan’s site where robotic armpit installed on bomb disposal robot like Talon. Whenever the robot undergo on dangerous mission it will start sweating just like human when they get afraid of things. This weird invention was explained by Kevin Grennan as translation of human’s most complex and private parts into robot.

Camel race is such a tradition as a part of cultures in Oman that usually used children as jockeys. The Omanis does not matter about the prize of the race but it is about certain pride and also a natural passion in winning the camel racing. As of September 30, a new history had been introduced when robot jockeys rode on the backs of the camels at the 7th annual local camel race at the Sohar race track, Oman (2009 to 2010) and also because of the safety reason in the competition for the young Omani jockey. RO500 as the new robot jockeys in camel race in Oman had been introduced into an official camel race in Oman for the first time.

A Danish professor Henrik Scharfe named as the next creepy real-like Geminoid DK’s model. Henrik Scharfe is professor of Aalborg University in Denmark that works as the head of the Computer Mediated Epistemology Center in that university. Scharfe hoped that his remote controlled duplicate could be used to help the study on human robot interaction. It wasn’t Scharfe who built the robot but the Japanese company using its Geminoid-F platform, a series of servo motor used on this Geminod robot to create remarkable life-like facial expressions. Not only looks like Scharfe, the robot could also make various facial expressions like Scharfe.
