Just thought this was really interesting, this is a new robot they've developed in Japan whom they've designed to resemble a human professor named Henrik Scharfe, of Aalborg University in Denmark. It looks so much like a human, it's really hard to tell at first O_O Here's the article on him, which contains a short video showing some of his movements and some more pictures:

They really are getting good with this. Some of his shoulder motions still seemed a bit jerky to me, but his facial movements are quite good IMO :hmmm: And the detail they've put into his hair and beard is fantastic.
