Sweet merciful fates: this is a robot. Called a Geminoid, these things came into fame with an early version in 2005 by Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro of ATR. This new version seems completely revamped and updated and, more interesting, this is the first Geminoid from outside of Japan. This new Geminoid comes from Aalborg University in Denmark and is considerably less complex - but much more realistic - than Ishiguro's original model. This one, called Geminoid-F, appears to really breathe and perform involuntary muscular reactions. Click through for video.
