WHO NEEDS SCIENCE FICTION? WE'VE GOT SCIENCE FACT.

"Albert Hubo is a humanoid robot based on HUBO, but with Einstein’s face on top of it. It was developed by South Korean scientists. The face is built by Hanson Robotics, a company specialized in making robot faces."
Wikipedia



Remix?



Hanson Robotics other current characters include:


Jules, the androgynous conversationalist


Yargh-Bot, the disembodied yet animate pirate


a robotic portrait of Philip K. Dick


and my personal favorite: Johnny Chaos

"Joey Chaos is the newest edition to the Hanson Robotics family. This one of a kind humanoid rock star is known for his attitude and smart remarks. Joey loves to talk about music, especially pertaining to his favorite genre, punk. Don’t be surprised if he decides to inform you on his view of capitalism either, he is an extremely opinionated robot, especially when it comes to political issues."


'These lifetime partners can also be created as custom, one-of-kind life-sized character robots through a process known as Identity Emulation, where a real person (living or dead) is recreated in robotic form."
