VIDEO: Japanese robo-bride takes to catwalk

A humanoid robot has been used to model wedding dresses at a Japanese fashion show.

The HRP-4C "cybernetic human" - who stands 5ft 2ins tall and can create realistic facial expressions - modeled the designs by Yumi Katsura.

HRP-4C wowed crowds at the Paris Grand Collection in Osaka, Japan, by strolling down the 10-metre catwalk in the big white dress.

When at the end of the catwalk the bot said: "I've put on a wedding dress for the first time. I'm very happy today to wear this dress by Yumi Katsura."

And with that she terrified men everywhere who have either a fear of a robot uprising, or commitment.
