Geminoid test - see photos at http://www.miniurl.com/95654




Behold, the most real-looking robot ever created. It looks so human, you might think it’s some guy imitating a robot. Take a look at this video and notice how the thing actually breathes.
It’s called a Geminoid, which is a lifelike robot created to look exactly like its master. Geminoids are controlled by a computer system that replicates movements. The video shows the latest version of a concept started in 2005.
In this case, the robot’s subtle movements almost take it across that “uncanny valley,” where an android (or animation) gets close enough to appearing real that it borders on creepy.
