■Every part such as each leg joint, both arms and pod can move autonomously
In total 21 motors are mounted in TACHIKOMA and they move autonomously according to conversations it has with the user. Not only each leg but also parts such as both arms, pod, image sensor, etc. will move. In addition, there is the option of operating TACHIKOMA via the companion smartphone application. Like the original, it can freely move by turning the running wheels on the bottom of each leg. Furthermore, by providing multiple action commands, it is possible to reproduce a variety of postures and a variety of emotional expressions that appear in the original anime by moving each leg joint or pod.
■Sakiko Tamagawa‘s recorded voice can make the same conversation as the original
In order to make any answer theoretically possible like the original animation, 600 different responses from Sakiko Tamagawa, the voice-over actress of TACHIKOMAs in the original animation were recorded and combined with a voice recognition engine and voice synthesis engine. You can talk in the real world with TACHIKOMA who will then respond with the same voice as in anime, this is the function all fans have dreamed of, TACHIKOMA recognizes the spoken words and creates a suitable reply based on the question content. In addition to matters concerning the characters and keywords from the original anime, it is also possible to answer with everyday conversation such as “Good morning” or “I’m home”.
■Connectivity to check weather forecast and schedule
TACHIKOMA has an Internet connectivity feature that tells users the weather forecast and their registered Google Calendar schedule by asking TACHIKOMA. When asking TACHIKOMA “What is the schedule for today?”, it will answer with a synthesized voice based on Sakiko Tamagawa’s original, for example, “You will be meeting with Saito at 9:30!”. When asking for words that you do not know such as “What is ◯◯?”, TACHIKOMA searches the internet and then answers* 2.
■Synchronization is reproduced by object and speech recognition
One of the most important features of TACHIKOMA, is reproducing “parallelization” which is regarded as a very important function in the original anime. As in the original, each 1/8 TACHIKOMA is connected to the cloud (the Internet), when you show an object to the camera mounted in the image sensor part, the object recognition engine in the cloud recognizes the object.
For example, show an apple to TACHIKOMA and ask “What is this?”, it will answer “I know, it’s an apple isn’t it?” In addition, when user ”A” tells TACHIKOMA, “an apple is sweet”, TACHIKOMA understands this by using speech recognition technology and transmits the learned information “an apple is sweet” to the cloud, all other TACHIKOMAs then “synchronize” the information as new TACHIKOMA memories.
At a later date, if user ”B” shows an object that can be recognized as apple to TACHIKOMA, it says, “I know, it’s an apple right? An apple is sweet.” This means that all users receive the information that TACHIKOMA has learned via synchronization.
