I know that "Robot Apocalypse" is simply an internet meme, but sometimes, I see stuff that makes me almost think something like "The Terminator" or BSG could actually happen one day.
Stuff like this:

Quite stunning the craftmanship thats gone into the face. Almost like Blade Runner
Stunning, but CREEPY. :-\ Watching the video and seeing the almost lifelike movement and expression is one of the most scary things I've seen online in a while.
Are you telling me that's REALLY a robot? I dismissed it on a cursory viewing as an actress playing a part.

Dude; it really is a robot. Check out the forehead "muscle" twitches as it changes expression:

It's designed to help comfort hospital patients. Check out the story-

That's truly amazing!
Right.
I'm scared now!
Wow- that is amazing! I am going to run out and buy shares in Skynet, inc. ;)
The fact that the hospital robot's "voice" is from speakers instead of its face is disconcerting. But check this out:

I give it 5 years tops before this technology is refined enough to create a humanoid robotic face capable of mimicking human speech :cylon
uncanny :(
Don't give up yet, Skynet. You're almost there. ;) -

I hope someone is working on weapons to stop these robots dead in their tracks. :cylon

Yeah, I'm working on it right now with a underground group of Mercs and Scientists and Biotics. We'll beat the crap out of anyone who gets in the way on our quest to kill the Reapers.....wait wrong topic.

LOL! Go get 'em! ;)
I can't help myself; I find this stuff fascinating. It's freakin' cool to watch the progress being made in this field.
Speaking of which, what would one call this field? Humanoid Robotics? *shrug*
Anyway, here's another one I heard about today.

When i see female robots, I think Howard Wolowitz and the Lisatron(think thats what Leonard called it).
...or the robotic arm...
