Meet Jules - The World's First Humanoid Robot To Mimic Human Expressions

[Aussie Pete]

Technology just got even scarier. Scientists have created the first 'humanoid' robot that can mimic the facial expressions and lip movements of a human being.'Jules' - a disembodied androgynous robotic head - can automatically copy the movements, which are picked up by a video camera and mapped on to the tiny electronic motors in his skin.It can grin and grimace, furrow its brow and 'speak' as his software translates real expressions observed through video camera 'eyes'.
