Geminoid DKRealistic Robots - Just Like Humans
When I saw the pictures and the video of this robot, I was extremely impressed. For me, it looks very similar to a real human. What do you all think?
QUOTE Japanese researchers have blurred the lines between man and machine with their latest robot, the incredibly realistic Geminoid DK.
It is the third of the Geminoid series, a line of androids designed by Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University and his team at Japan's Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) in Nara.
The robot has been constructed to look exactly like Henrik Scharfe, an associate professor of Aalborg University in Denmark and is the first of the series based on a non-Japanese person.
"Geminoid|DK will be the first of its kind outside of Japan," The group explains on the robot's website. "[It is] intended to advance android science and philosophy, in seeking answers to fundamental questions."
Ishiguro's first robot clone, Geminoid HI-1 was based on himself while the second, Geminoid F, was a copy of a young Japanese model. All Geminoids are remote controlled by an operator with a computer employing motion-capture technology, letting the robots realistically mimic facial expressions and head movements.

That's extremely creepy. It seems that robotics, sci-fi, hollywood and 'human-cloning' have somewhat blurred. I find that incredibly scary. What's next? Bender from Futurama will become a reality?

Robots: Not human, but getting closer
It may seem uncomfortably close to science fiction, but robots are moving ever nearer to having humanlike abilities to smell, feel and see their surroundings, allowing them to operate more independently and perform some of the dangerous, dirty and dull jobs people don't want to do. Ref. Source 6
