Japanese robot makers have created FT – a robot with a plastic and carbon fiber body, that stands 35 centimeters (13 inches) tall, Pink Tentacle reports.

Her 23 joints enable her to perform a range of fashion model type moves, like arching her back and swinging her hips as she walks, as well as runway-style turns. FT’s components were designed and arranged to create a feminine body line.

No decision has been made to make the FT commercially available.
