(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!!!!

Have you ever hear of the Uncanny Valley? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley[/url] The idea is that as machines take on more human traits they become more "personable," but when a machine becomes very human-like but is distinctly mechanical in some ways it becomes instantly creepy. I think it looks pretty cool too, but I agree with Vickie,a face modeled off a jovial fat guy would be better in every way

Yeah the second is definitely less creepy. When are they going to realize that you don't have to make a robots face photo realistic to make it easy and comfortable for a person to deal with. In face it just makes it worse. It just needs humanoid features and general shape. Also it's interesting ot read your replies when I don't remember what I said.

Lifelike human robots are creepy. Maybe it wouldn't be so creepy if it was something other than a young Japanese female design. If it was a jovial fat guy with a beard programmed to do stand-up comedy or a band composed entirely of life-like robots, that would significantly decrease the creep factor.

Ah, dude, that's so cool. Mech animes are becoming real, it's almost hard to think about.
