Even though the Star Trek character “Data” was played by a human, this new android might be more life-like. Watch the video, and I think you’ll agree that it is hard to tell (at first) that this is a robot. It’s called Geminoid DK, built by the Intelligent Robotics lab at Osaka University and designed by professor Hiroshi Ishiguro. Just like Data was modeled after his creator Doctor Noonian Soong, the Geminoid DK is created in the likeness of professor Henrik Scharfe of Aalborg University in Denmark. Not sure if it can whistle or if it remembers every fact to which it is exposed, but Geminoid DK has a better hairdo (and beard) than Data, and it can smile.

I actually googled it to make sure it wasn't a fake!
Great post!

To be honest I'm not even sure what "alien" means. Alien to what? The universe is teeming with life.

The eyes are "dead", the biggest issue with dealing in any type of AI given a portable host server (generally called an android), is the power systems are way below capacity for any kind of autonomous motion beyond the reach of a pair of cables...

Nice makeup and skin texturing, but you can still tell it is artificial (even without the "deadpan eyes")
