(OO) The other morning, watching the news while waking up… I saw this on the news…
I have very mixed feelings…. I think it is so incredible and cool how people can make these robots that walk move and do things on their own power, without a remote control.. but should they really have human faces!?!?!?!? that freaks me out!!!
This little beauty can make faces to show expressions… happy, sad, concerned, angry, and so on….
I think robots should look like this…. not human!!!!

Saw the video. I find it cool and creepy at the same time.

The images aren't all that creepy, seeing her actually move is a bit different... But yeah, if you ask me, all these robot builders should focus on recreating awesome robots like Wall-E or EVE, not humans. Guess they're just lonely. >:3

I'll go for cool.
dracco at 5:59AM, March 20, 2009
I'd have all three reactions indeed...
Jabali at 4:56AM, March 20, 2009
Ok, Not only the human look but also a "cute" looking girl. It won't be long until she can do "more" than just expressions. This is the first step of human extinction.

machinehead: ... only by those who are pathetically lost... let us not scorn these miscreants, but pity them... quite heavily in fact still, the ability to construct androidal beings[?] today is very cool in my book
Koshou at 8:32PM, March 19, 2009
I think she's kind of cute... but yeah, a little creepy.

"My name is talking Tina and I'm going to kill you"
Gabe Puratekuta at 6:13PM, March 19, 2009
Yeah, they are a little creepy. But still awesome!
machinehead at 4:03PM, March 19, 2009
Oh geez, next come the sex bots. These things creep me out because I know they will be used for bad bad things.
Bocaj at 12:06PM, March 19, 2009
Indeed...
mattchee at 11:16AM, March 19, 2009
FREAKY!
antcomics at 11:06AM, March 19, 2009
I'm with Mel. CREEPY! :o)
dotdotdot at 8:40AM, March 19, 2009
Don't let those guys near that robot... It might get... um... sticky! :) Cheers!

We have these in the US too, but we call them Al Gore.

oh damn, that link didn't work. oh well. here's a simlar video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY8-sJS0W1I and I have my suspicions about this even being an robot... she looks a little too realistic to be one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmIf-slNEC8
Aurora Moon at 7:27AM, March 19, 2009
I heard about this as well. At least she wasn't creepy as that one robotic reporter. Have you ever seen THIS? [url=http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20090311/capt.2c92639250be4fc19e477944cf2b0fff.aptopix_japa n_teacher_robot_xits104.jpg?x=400&y=280&q=85&sig=o 7vvMnxOLxcdFHbjVDrj3A--]Clicky here! [/url]
Jonko at 7:21AM, March 19, 2009
Yeah I heard about those. I think there was one on display in Washington DC that someone had made with the face of his wife... Don't understand why anyone would choose to do that. I'm sure the wife especially thought it was creepy.
TheMidge28 at 6:01AM, March 19, 2009
I have seen this thing on G4's Attck of the Show and it is creepy. The video I saw showed how it responded to what the creepy designer would do to it. some folks need a date.
Custard Trout at 4:54AM, March 19, 2009
Bloody hell, I'm going to have nightmares now.
Flup at 1:55AM, March 19, 2009
Ooh, I saw this a while ago! I think it's fascinating! Although the creepy factor could put potential sponsors off...
Masq at 12:16AM, March 19, 2009
I think it's fascinating what robotics Japan comes up with. I don't think it's freaky at all.
MetalLuigi at 12:14AM, March 19, 2009
I agree with your reaction! Very very creepy >_
warefish at 12:08AM, March 19, 2009
That's pretty freaky...
Anubis at 11:22PM, March 18, 2009
oh yes I saw that one on the news! Im waiting for full body prostetics
