Freakishly human ‘Android’ created
OK, this creeps me right out. In fact, when I first watched this video about a Japanese robotics professor who developed “The Geminoid” that looks and talks like himself, I thought it was a hoax. But it’s not. Check it out.

That's crazy!
if your gonna spend that much time and money on a robot, why wouldnt you at least make him good looking? Like that hair!!??
WoW but needs faster controlers in the face
Robots are going to take over the world!!
probly not bud
robots are sexy. even search robots.
Considering the improvements, the speed issue of the face will be resolved in the next few years. Possibly the prediction of people marrying robots by 2050 will come true. Scientists have just come out with a new robot skin that uses nanotubes which means the robot will be able to feel more like a human being.
The question of power supply remains, and that's being looked after by Asian scientists. Asia has a vested interest in robots, Japan with it's aging population, Korea the commercial. The latter has passed their form of Asimov's laws for robots to follow, as well as aiming for every home to have a robot.
Murphy's law anyone? Or Cylon in the making?
Wow. It looks so real.
I remember seeing a photo with the female version in the Guinness World Records 2008.

My question is why? This reminds me of the frankenstein movie! And we know how that turned out.
Yikes! Amazing technology, but still spooky.
I agree with Valerie!!! Why indeed??
the world is overpopulated enough. why add more?? don't like relying on computers as it is!! watch "I Robot" haha!
creepy. period.
This is truely amazing however I think this is opening pandora's box. I wonder when the first person will use these robots for crime and such. I've read other articles about this and they perdict that robots with flood the workplace and common household within a short number of years. They even have said they are manufacturing these robots for sexual fantasy. I don't know . . . doesn't seem right to me . . .
This is what they should have done with the "frozen sasquatch". Then maybe people would have believed it was real. lol.
Do you live under a rock? This is old news…
I must say seeing this video makes me feel sick!!! are we god are to play the role of god NO! I think these scientists shoud cease what there doing
I think it's strange, but we shouldn't worry. that thing has about as much AI as a furby, so it's harmless. However, if they had made an advanced, nearly humanlike AI (Artificial intelegence), then I would start worrying. Because the first thing we would do is treat them like slaves, and any sentient being would want to be free. If any one has seen the prolouge to "the matrix" series, then they know what happens next (a robot revolt, order to destroy them, more violence, and eventualy war). although, we probably would just get the humans out of robot terratory, then bomb them. though hopefully they don't make an AI that advance, even thogh they are trying. so to quote some guy in jurrasic park, "they spend so much time wondering on how they could do it they don't bother to wonder whether or not they should".
yeah, when this thing can stand on its own, walk and talk on its own and can fight a war on its own… then come get me. Until then dont bore me with this stuff. peace.
There's nothing freakish about this. It's the future
