   Well... we're getting there, I guess.   
      
   Actually, this IS a pretty decent aesthetic jump as far as humanoid   
   robots go, compared to the ones we had a few years ago (like Asimo etc).   
   The face is creepy but it's not hard to believe that in a few more years   
   we'll have something that would actually look pretty cool and people   
   would be comfortable interacting with.   
      
   They should probably try to make heads/faces more stylized so as to   
   avoid the uncanny vally problem.
