Creepy Mouthbot Learns to Sing

(YouTube link)

We brought you a video of this robot mouth a year ago, but that video was taken down. The rubber robotic mouth was developed by Professor Hideyuki Sawada at Kagawa University in Japan to help hearing-impaired people with their speech. It was creepy enough back then, but now the mouth has learned to sing! In the newest video, the mouth sings the Japanese children's tune "Kagome Kagome." The lips start to move about 30 seconds in. http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-07/moaning-mouth-bot-learns-croon-even-creepier-ever to story. http://stwww.eng.kagawa-u.ac.jp/~s10d501/ to website. -via Fortean Times
