The female robot has been called a 'robot goddess' by her hoards of online fans, and some who met her at a recent exhibition were taken aback by her lifelike appearance.
這個(gè)女機(jī)器人被網(wǎng)上的粉絲稱為“機(jī)器人女神”，一些在近期的展覽會(huì)上看到她的人對(duì)其逼真的外形感到大吃一驚。

盡管在過去的幾年里已有其他工程師設(shè)計(jì)出類似的“智能”機(jī)器人，佳佳被認(rèn)為在中國(guó)是獨(dú)一無二的。
