Um...people...robots are here. I'm not talking about a toy dog with a lot of tricks, or even Honda's cute little ASIMO. Though that little fella is damn cute...

Hanson Robotics is making these robots that stress human-like movements and appearance. They have invented a kind of skin that flexes and "emotes" in an almost life like manner. It is still very much like Disney animatrons, but oh my... there is something exciting and creepy about it. When they combine their fake skin and facial expressions with the movement, "intelligence", and functionality of ASIMO type machines...watch out. Have you seen ASIMO run yet? Check it out. It won't be long before these are as commong in our homes as remote controls for our televisions.
So let's see...we've cured impotence, have many options for balding, been to the moon, and now these robots...If we could just find a reasonable solution to our addiction to fossil fuels...
This is their Zeno "machine": http://www.zenosworld.com/
