Humans created them, they evolved, there are many copies

I am very suspicious about this. Why do they keep testing her opening her mouth and bobbing her head up and down?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Amazing how she even blinks and the facial expressions are pretty realistic. I wonder if she can walk...apparently that is one of the hardest things to make a robot able to do.

that is freaky deaky, read the comments LOL

[bgrimm77]

Man..... It looks so real!!!! Scary!!!

Yeah, me too. I have a hard time believing this is real. I didn't think they were close to copying humans this good. To me this looks like a real woman pretending to be a robot.

[vintage spideyfan]

Yeah, not believing this. It's a woman pretending. I mean the thing is called an "Actroid" after all...

Two words - Sky Net.

Wow, there are some VERY lonely Japanese nerds out there!! (Watch some of their OTHER videos -yikes)

Reminds me of that line from 'The Omega Man' - "Definition of a scientist: A man that understood nothing until there was nothing left to understand"

I think it's real.

I don't think a human can move their eyes that fast in that way (see 1:30 in).

As far "doing it" with the thing, the new action figure smell would turn me off

[megomania]

So obviously a real Japanese woman I can't stop laughing.....

[HardyGirl]

Yeah, me too. I have a hard time believing this is real. I didn't think they were close to copying humans this good. To me this looks like a real woman pretending to be a robot.

That's what I think too.

I don't think it's fake. My guess from his set up is that she's not going to get up and actually perform nurse duties. It looks like she would be used so real nurses could monitor rooms from a central hub. The body and facial expressions are to give comfort and security, according to a couple of articles.

Japan is facing a HUGE problem with an aging population right now. Check this article out:
