Can we please stop making robots with vaguely-human but not totally human faces? Either just make androids, or make stuff like that Tega thing which looks familiar without looking disturbing like that... bizarrity at the beginning of the video.
don't stop making androids, but don't stop with things like tegra.
Robots with faces freak me out. Stuff like petman though are cool [video=youtube;mclbVTIYG8E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mclbVTIYG8E[/video]
Honestly i wish they would just make robots that are humanoid, but don't pretend to be human, but rather look like a robot. As i would trust something that looks like a machine more then a machine pretending to be human. Cuz humans are assholes, and we dont need asshole robots.

I wonder if enough of the structure is intact to actually make that work. Probably not if it's only sliced 2000 times. I imagine that's not nearly enough detail to reconstruct it at a cellular level, but it's cool to think about.

[QUOTE=Ithon;47363267]don't stop making androids, but don't stop with things like tegra.[/QUOTE] I didn't so much mean 'only make robots of one of these two types'. It's just... how can you make an adult-sized robot with a pale white baby face and think "Yeah, this isn't creepy at all"?

Show this video to people 40 years ago and theyd think youre showing them a SciFi movie trailer. We've come a looooong way.
