Prepare for the Robot Revolution

Humanoid robots have arrived. Her facial features are shockingly human. If they did not do so many tests to show the er facial muscle movements, I would cry hoax. She blinks, makes a variety of subtle facial expressions, and moves her mouth appropriately for what she is saying. You can see they her face mimics the video input of her operator which I think is super cool. I am so impressed that they can use that kind of face-movement recognition technology and translate into robotic form. I am a little creeped out but mostly eager for more.
