WTF? Two Days In A Row Robots Have Me Freaked Out

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/27/actroid-f-the-angel-of-death-robot-coming-to-a-hospital-near-yo/?icid=main|aim|dl3|sec1_lnk3|180468

It's been a few years since we checked in with Actroid, a bot we first saw way back in 2005. What you're looking at above is Actroid-F, Kokoro Co. Ltd. and ATR's latest iteration of the creepy humanoid robot that can mime the operator's facial expressions and head movements with unbelievable (but not quite human) accuracy. Her current job is to act as "as an observer in hospitals to gauge patient reactions." We guess that's one way to get around euthanasia laws. See what we mean in the video after the break. 



I'm sorry but I have to serve up some I told you so. This is just not kosher. First they're making our pancakes, now they look like us. They're taking steps closer and closer to world domination.
