[QUOTE="Num7, post: 42427, member: 1"] The latest Geminoid robot is one of the most realistic, and thus creepiest, android we've ever seen. The skin, hair, goatee (!), and facial expressions are real enough to fool you for a few seconds while it sinks in that something very, very weird is going on. This specific model is called the Geminoid DK, and it comes from the same studio that gave us the robotic actress, Geminoid F. The DK is the first Geminoid model that's based on a non-Japanese person (in this case, Associate Professor Henrik Scharfe of Denmark's Aalborg University) and also the first bearded model (if you consider a goatee a beard, which in my full-bearded opinion is debatable). [media=youtube]eZlLNVmaPbM[/media] Isn't this a bit creepy ? Movements are jerky a bit and too fast, but the face looks pretty real, except for the eyes.
