01.jpgHumanoid robots are almost always exceptionally creepy-looking, so it should come as no surprise that this Japanese robotic “talking” mouth is completely terrifying. It was built to help hearing impaired people learn to enunciate correctly, which it does with an air pump and artificial vocal cords. The false nose above the mouth provides a nasal cavity which helps with the human-sounding articulation. Despite being scary (and a little naughty-looking), the robot could actually help hearing impaired individuals in a way that no otherteaching aid has before.
