China Just Showed Us the Most Human-Like Robots Yet

Robots are rapidly becoming more and more lifelike and unrecognizable from humans. Eerily human-like robots built by China's University of Science and Technology stole the show over at the World Robot Conference in Beijing last week. You may have already seen Jia Jia, a super realistic robot capable of micro facial expressions and basic conversation with humans. Jia Jia can also recognize faces, identify your gender and age, and detect your facial expressions. But a newcomer robot also made a debut: the university unveiled a new male robot that can accurately paint calligraphy.
