It seems that we’re reaching the point where we can create robots that almost seems human, but there are still traits that make them unmistakably non-human. Apparently there is even a term for the creepy feeling you get when you see something like this, it’s “The Uncanny Valley.” Now that you’ve had your vocabulary lesson for the day, here are 7 of the creepiest real-life bots, most of which fall into the category listed above.
My favorite, (or least favorite, depending on how you look at it) has to be the CB2 from Professor Ishiguo at Osaka Univerity. Essentially this thing is just a 100lb robotic 2-year-old. It has over 200 tactile sensors so simulate a sense of touch and feeling. That’s 100 pounds of pure creepy right there.
