Stuff like this scares me. Why is it that, despite dozens of works of literature predicting that robots will someday dominate over their human masters, we continue trying to create machines that reflect our human mannerisms? Soon enough, emotions and a rebellious nature are going to kick in and you all know what happens then.
Someday those peeps will be slaughtering us and harvesting our bodies for energy and resources, you'll see!

Isaac Asimov kicked this Frankenstein Complex right in the ass and made Mary Shelley his little bitch (figuratively speaking, and also exagerating a bit). Read "I, Robot".Senbei wrote:Stuff like this scares me.

More of that robot woman. Higher quality video clips and pictures.
Uncanny Valley indeed. I jumped out of my chair when I first saw this thing move.
Personally, I don't see how making robots look more human looking will improve their job/purpose. Yes, making robots look like humans is incredibly awesome, yes, it's very cool looking, but why waste money trying to get these things to look human when they can act the same with or without skin?
On to something less creepy....ASIMO!

The balance this thing has is incredible.
