The robot that acts like Keanu Reeves

If you were going to design a robot to look like a real human being, which famous face would be your model? Would you go for an Angelina Jolie because, well, she's already been Lara Croft and somehow the distance from video game character on your telly to robot in your living room is shorter than the walk to your garage? Or might you prefer a warm-hearted intellectual such as Kanye West, the Marquis de Sade, or Ann Coulter? Well, the University of West of England and the University of Bristol, as part of a project called Human-Robot Interaction, have been working to perfect an (allegedly) human-looking robot. You know, one that can manage a few facial expressions, move its lips, and criticize you day after day.
