Meet KOBIAN, a creepy new Japanese robot that show “emotions” with its face:
The robot is installed with 48 “actuators” which allow its face and body to move in a variety of ways.
It shows happiness by opening its eyes and mouth wide and raising its arms, and sorrow by drooping its head and covering its eyes.
The robot’s hands are covered with a soft material which is supposed to replicate the feeling of a human hand.
