An ultra-realistic robot was unveiled last week by researchers from the University of Science and Technology in China (USTC). Jia Jia, as the female robot has been named, is apparently capable of basic communication, interaction with nearby people, and natural facial expressions. Unfortunately, many of her pre-programmed interactions appear to be highly stereotypical.
Her body, from head to toe, is so realistic some at first can't tell the difference.
For example, if Jia Jia detects that someone is taking a photo of her, she’ll warn the photographer to stand back or else the picture will make her face “look fat.” Jia Jia can’t do much beyond that though, without adding extra chips. Essential human emotional responses like laughing and crying are not in the robot’s repertoire, but snickering and giggling is. Her hands have also been left lifeless, but there's a chip that can be installed to make the hands and wrists do as you please. She does, however, speak super subserviently. The prompt, “Hello,” elicits the reply, “Yes my lord. What can I do for you?”
