Actroid DER2 and Akiko Matsuide

Humanoid robot Actroid DER2 was on hand for opening ceremonies, accompanied by singer Akiko Matsuide (member of a robot-and-human band called "Robo and Peace") and a smaller, unnamed, not-so-humanoid bot. The relatively lifelike DER2 made her debut in October at the headquarters of Hello Kitty mogul Sanrio, whose Kokoro subsidiary specializes in robot design and manufacturing.
