Incredibly cool or insanely creepy? Yes, that is an actual robot.
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."

Even Commander Data didn’t look that good.
looks more realistic than Algore...
I saw that on the first season of Star Trek. Andrea was quite a piece of...engineering.
His eybrows move when he blinks. Other than that ... dang, it’s creepy.
The look on that dude’s face is the one I see on the cookie cutter anarcho-artsy Philly coffee house patrons.
So how long before the Left want Human/Robot marriages recognized?
> looks more realistic than Algore...
LOL!!
The average store mannequin looks more realistic than Algore.
Your comment made me think how cool it would be to make one of these things look like a young Schwarzenegger.
And program it to say “I’ll be back.”
Reminds me of English actor Alan Rickman from Die Hard.
Harry Mudd had an army of ‘em.
“So how long before the Left want Human/Robot marriages recognized?”
For the record, that topic was already broached in 1999’s “Bicentennial Man” starring Robin Williams.
The one that shows it breathing is really creepy.
Revelation 13:13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 13:15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And already it shows more warmth and personality than Hillary Clinton.
Amazing.
