Japanese film-makers have created a robot movie star - by casting an android 'actress' in a lead role.

日本电影制片商选用机器人作为领衔女主演，塑造了一位机器人电影明星。

The robot co-stars alongside a human in the film 'Sayonara' set in the aftermath of a deadly nuclear power plant meltdown in Japan.

影片《再见》(Sayonara)中，机器人与人类演员同台演出。影片故事发生于日本核电站事故的余波中。

The android, called Geminoid F, was designed to look and act like a human with rubber 'skin' and a woman's face - but it is unable to walk and is wheeled around in the film.

机器人名叫Geminoid F，有着橡胶“皮肤和女性外貌，设计初衷是为了能有人类的行为举止。但影片中，Geminoid F饰演的角色无法行走，只能坐在轮椅上。

Geminoid F - or Leona in the film - is referred to by director Koji Fukada as an 'actress,' and the android is even listed as a member of the cast in the end credits.

影片中，Geminoid F名叫Leona，导演深田晃司(Koji Fukada)叫她“女演员。电影的片尾滚幕中也将这个机器人列为剧组成员。

While robots have featured prominently in many films, most are played by real actors or created using visual effects.
