People Have Mistaken This Robot For Real Human & Think She's "Sexy"

A robot has been created that is so life-like it fooled one-in-two people into thinking it was a real human.

But not only has the lifelike device been mistaken for a real person - she's also been deemed 'sexy' by those who have seen her.

Named Actroid F, the 5ft 6in machine looks like a human being, blinks, responds to eye contact and recognises body language.

Robots are being built that look more and more convincing so researcher Dr David Silvera-Tawil wanted to find out if Geminoid F can be told apart from an actual person.

Footage of this particular robot was originally released online in 2010, but recently viewers have been taking to YouTube to express their opinions on the life-like device, with many saying they find the doll 'sexy'.

One viewer wrote: "I wish they had these before I married my ex-wife."

Another added: "Is it weird if I think she's cute?"

But while some found the robot attractive, others were fearful and uncomfortable after being unable to tell whether the woman was real or not.

The geminoid - so-called because it is an identical replica of humans and operates remotely - was developed by renowned robot designer Professor Yoshio Matsumoto at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tokyo.
