Androids: humans or robots?


When I think of innovations, robots immediately come to mind. I guess everyone has seen at least one of the Terminator movies. I am particularly fascinated by them, because the robots are so human-like. You can barely see the difference between a robot and a human being: they look like us, talk like us, behave like us. Today, such robots don’t exist yet, but scientists are continuously searching for better ways to humanize robots. And they’re not doing a bad job so far. In the YouTube video below, you can see some of the latest creations. They are called “androids”: robots designed to look and act like a human, and with a body having a flesh-like resemblance. As you can imagine, the main challenge is to give them human facial expressions. It’s up to you to decide whether their creators succeeded in doing so!
