7 years later, researchers finally 'added more flesh' to Affetto, but does that make it even less intimidating? If you feel that the head of a child laughs without a body, Normally, yes, Affetto is now " cuter " than it used to be.

When Affetto launched seven years ago, robot researchers were impressed by its ability to express very true emotions. However, those who make Affetto still want to upgrade and according to them, the face of an android robot is an extremely important part to communicate with people more effectively. They need to resemble the human face as much as possible.

In order for Affetto to have more human expressions, the researchers created a new version with more actuators behind the fake leather, including 116 motion points. This allows them to develop a face movement system that is close to reality.

Affetto's new version also has a well-proportioned face, the most prominent being the very "human" eyes, to be honest, this version looks more "horror" than the first version, but also makes viewers Feeling creepy when you look at it.
