Robot Actress EveR-3 Stars On The Stage (VIDEO)

A petite robot capable of 16 facial expressions will soon be taking more theater roles in South Korea.

South Korean robot EveR-3 (Eve Robot 3) made her stage debut last year in the government-sponsored production of "Robot Princess and the Seven Dwarfs."

According to Yahoo,

The lifelike EveR-3 is 157 centimetres (five feet, two inches) tall, can communicate in Korean and English, and can express a total of 16 facial expressions -- without ever forgetting her lines.

Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Scientist Lee Ho-Gil conceded that the robot can be difficult to work with -- she tends to collide with other actors and props.

South Korea is not the first country to develop a human-like robot actor. In 2003, Japan unveiled Actroid, which has the ability to emit human expression.It's available for rental here.
