The New Face Robot Project
The next chapter of Jang Geum Robot Project
Jang Geum Robot that I was supposed to display at Robosquare was offerd to be aired by NHK-BS TV-station in fall 2009. However, MBC TV station that produced "Jewel in the palace" did not permit NHK to air it. The reason why MBC didn't allow NHK to use the robot was that it was too similar to the leading actress, I heard. I was very happy to hear that. I was honored to know MBC recognized my robot looked exactly like Jang Geum. Now, I am making the New Face Robot wearing Jang Geum's costume that will be able to speak Korean and move its eyes, as well as smile and bow.
