Japanese scientists are developing human-like robots. So human-like that it's actually creepy in some ways. How are we going to tell the difference between human beings and robots / androids.
Geminoid F is the newest product of the Intelligent Robotics lab atsaka University and robot builders Kokoro Co. Ltd. "Silicone realistic skin, convincing hair, and teeth that seem so real they make Geminoid F have a nearly human smile." Not only that, but the robot also comes with a a tele-operation system which uses a smart camera to track your facial expressions and replicate them.
In other words, Japanese scientists are working on a robot that will imitate you. Soon enough, we'll be able to read robots' lips. I wonder if that's a good thing or not? After all, everyone lip's are different, thus making it a challenge for us to lipread with ease.
