Well, here we go. How long until Judgment Day? They’re making real robots to look like humans in what is obviously going to bring to mind images involving a certain “electronic murderer”. Luckily these robots aren’t killing people…yet.
Mail Online has an in-depth look at “Jules,” the human-looking robot head, which can mimic real human facial expressions. And in real time no less.
Mail Online reports:
Jules mimics the expressions by converting the video image into digital commands that make the robot’s servos and motors produce mirrored movements.
And it all happens in real time as the robot can interpret the commands at 25 frames per second.
You can see plenty of images of Jules at that site, but you can also see Jules in action in the video embedded below.
Creepy, exciting stuff. For a look at fictional Terminator news, read my thoughts on the upcoming sequel.

my grandmother was once talking about androids once when she meant to say hemrhoids. The conversation had me in stitches.
