A young Chinese woman has been getting a lot of attention for her ability to act as an android using a special costume, robotic movements and an expressionless face.

At a time when companies are investing billions into robotics and artificial intelligence to make robots appear more human, one young woman is trying her best to impersonate a robot. Known as “robot girl” on Chinese social media, the young woman first attracted attention last August, during the 2024 World Robot Conference in Beijing, where along with another female model she posed next to a hyper-realistic humanoid robot, confusing the hell out of the audience, most of whom didn’t know which one of the exhibits was human and which was a robot. She has since gained a lot of notoriety in China and is now a popular content creator and the country’s leading “robot girl”.

Robot Girl recently went viral after posting videos of herself allegedly vising her home village in mainland China dressed in her android costume and stunning the people there with her stiff movements and expressionless visage.

World Journal reports that the professional robot model is about 1.8 meters tall and wears thigh heels to appear even taller. She has a waist circumference of 58 centimeters but her wasp silhouette is even more exaggerated thanks to her special android suit.

Although the young model, reportedly surnamed Li, is usually very good at keeping a straight face while doing her android routine, in one of the clips posted online, she does break character, bursting into laughter, when one of the aunties in her village offers to introduce her to a young man is she is single.
