Humanoid Robots Are Eerie

My friend Troy pointed out a while ago that the more “realistic” our 3-d models of humans get, the scarier they look. Apparently it applies to robots to, at least judging by the “actroid” above.

    Why are humanoid computers always female? Aren’t there any male models that have been constructed? :/

    I don’t know. Hal was male. He had some rather human feelings, even if he wasn’t human shaped.
