They need to pop one of those heads on one of the Big Dog robots from Boston Dynamics. That's a horror movie right there. |

I can see some applications where robots are superior to humans (e.g. defusing bombs, welding, etc)...but interacting with patients? Really? |

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.
| How does acting as a observer of patient reactions akin to euthanasia?
And I think Maki would agree that if we are to have robot overlords, they might as well be hot Asian chicks.

This is very advanced tech, the robot is reading the expression of the operator and mirroring it, so there computer vision, image detection, and a whole bunch of other stuff that will eventually make it into everyday consumer electronics, surveillance systems, bank machines, automated executioners, etc. |
