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.

Maybe I better put How To Survive a Robot Uprising closer to the top of my reading list.
