The newest model to hit the catwalk...with no clothes!

A new walking, talking robot with a female face that can smile and weighs just 95 pounds will be making its debut at a fashion show in Japan.

However, it will be a one "woman" fashion show because the robot hasn't cleared safety standards required to share the catwalk with real live human models.

The 5 foot 2 inch black-haired robot named HRP-4C will mainly serve to draw and entertain crowds.

Developers said the robot may be used at amusement parks or to perform as an exercise instructor.

Th female robot was designed to look like an average Japanese woman, although its silver-and-black body recalls a space suit. It will appear in a Tokyo fashion show next week - without any clothes - in a special section of the show just for the robot.
