Robot'Jia Jia' appears to represent a leap by engineers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) towards the'Replicant' androids witnessed in the dystopian thriller Blade Runner. The AI droid, designed in the shape of a woman, has been created with the ability to interact with humans through audible and physical expression. The robot's speech is synced with its lips, and it can blink and move its eyes. Even minute details such as eyelashes have been included by the developers, making Jia Jia difficult to pick out from a crowd of humans. China's first interactive robot, "Jia Jia", unveiled at the University of Science & Technology, Hebei.
