Robot that mimics speech:

The purpose of this research is to clarify a human vocal mechanism from engineering viewpoints by reproducing the vocal movement using a talking robot, and to create the dynamic model. This model will lead to the production of cellular phones that can compress data by transmitting human vocal movement instead of human voices. Furthermore, the model will lead to developing medical training devices for vocally challenged people and learning devices for foreign languages.

It's in Japanese, so don't feel bad if you don't understand robospeak.
