Re Photo#6_Caption: "...At last year's World Robot Exhibition, an eerily life-like robot named Android Geminoid F was unveiled, with some fans even describing her as 'sexy'..."...'Lifelike' in who's opinion?EVERY one of the simulates pictured, look(s) pretty garish / creepy. For me to have the SLIGHTEST interest in ANY of these appliances, they would have to be visually, indistinguishable from humans, like...the 'Replicants' in "Blade_Runner", the "Terminator" cyborgs, etc.! That kind of visual / functional functioning is years, to decades, in the future;I DON'T think there's ANYTHING in physics / other science which forbids it, so I WON'T be surprised if it happens!I WILL be surprised if it happens within my lifetime, aka, (roughly), between now and, say...2044. ...Especially if there was any consideration of a social /romantic sexual interaction!Timothy Weaver
Star Wars got it right. Don't try making your robots look human. C3P-O looks a lot less creepy that RoboGeisha.Malthus
Wow, it is able to determine the ages of people. I certainly hope that it is better at this than those who are responsible for allowing what are laughingly called refugee children from the Calais Jungle into Britain; if it is the relevant department should purchase one and employ it at Dover.
