Ultra Life-like Robot Debuts in Japan!

["...Internal sensors allow the android to react "naturally." It can block an attempted slap, for example. But it's the little, "unconscious" movements that give the robot its eerie verisimilitude: the slight flutter of the eyelids, the subtle rising and falling of the chest, the constant, nearly imperceptible shifting so familiar to humans..."]

that thing definitely looks like a real person. but i think they still go a ways to go before it can act and move like a real person without sounding like a benny benassi song, or looking drunk

I wish they had video of it.. i wanna watch it interact with someone... it says it can stop you from slapping it... that seems freaky. how could it anticipate that shit? [edit: motion sensors i guess but still]
