Could the next top model be a robot?
Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell beware, there is a new model who wants your jobs and will never get caught doing drugs or throwing a strop (or mobile phone.)
Manekin Robotto is a robotic catwalk model which makers say can move as gracefully as any supermodel.
A "joint drive type mannequin robot" she features 16 motors which are installed in the joints are said to enable model like movements.
But Moss might not have anything to worry about just yet, the robot is a bit on the short side (5ft 3in) and wouldn't look quite as good in a bikini.
Created by the The Hyogo Prefectural Institute of Technology in Japan the device will sell for 1,000,000 Yen (£500.)
