A Japanese company has developed a robot that, when placed in the window of a store, you can spy on who they are and what customers are buying, in addition to taking different attitudes towards them.
"The dummies can be quiet, but will operate as notice the presence of a new customer," said the designer of the robot, Tatsuya Matsui. "The dummy provides an attractive look to increase the desire of consumers to buy," said Matsui, who chairs Flower Robotics Inc. The female robot named 'palette' can imitate the most beautiful women in the world, such as moving them to use a memory that allows you to capture movements imitate the models of the fashion world.
But Palette can be transformed into an industrial spy, since it has a schedule that allows you to guess the age and sex of shoppers and even identify the bags they lead and pass the information to marketing departments.
Matsui developed Palette with the software company SGI Japan Ltd. and intends to begin selling this year at the mannequin in the fashion industry and services. The price has not been defined yet, but SGI wants to be as close as possible to the other costs of conventional dummies, 50 to $ 80, according to Hiroshi Otsuka, who is awaiting a promotion at SGI Japan.
There is an opportunity to change the concept of immobility, which has not changed in over a century, Otsuka said. Some people may remember the American film 'Mannequin', 1987, starring Andrew McCarthy. Elactor plays a department store salesman who falls for a mannequin and she was really an ancient Egyptian woman, the victim of a spell.
"The attention of the customer focus in the face of the wrist," said Matsui, the designer, noting that what we want is that buyers should be fixed in the clothing and jewelry that wears the dummy. Palette is available in two versions, full-length legs but not, or only the upper torso, ready to display jewelry.Matsui said in the future wants to design a Palette with legs, and is accompanied by a man and child mannequins.
