Creepy Talking Robot Head Wants to Destroy Humanity

October 29, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 2 comments

Robotics engineers at the University of Bristol, UK, have developed a super-creepy robotic talking head that can mimic many “human” facial expressions as well as generate synched speech lip movements. Fortunately for humanity, the bored robot doesn’t have a body yet. This is a good thing because, as it says below, it wants to wipe out humanity.

how is this creepy? it’s staccato and boring. nothing at all like a real person. it’s barely a puppet on a string.
