Android technology evolves crazy speed. Robots become eerily like humans, and how externally, and in terms of its characteristics. Scientists have already calculated that in a couple of decades, robots will become part of our lives, working for the good person and his family. Here is just a small list of 15 robots, which are frighteningly similar (especially outwardly) to a person.
The world’s first robot news presenter
The world’s first android news announcer spoke about Tokyo FBI earthquake and raid on June 24, 2014.
In fact, two androids were created – the “android girl” (kodomoroid), which can read the news in different voices and on different languages, and the “woman android” (otonaroid), which will be play the role of a communications specialist in National Museum of Advanced Science and Technology, or simply Miraikan.

BINA48 – female robot head
The memories, beliefs and main traits of the woman’s character were transferred to one robot named Bina48 (Breakthrough Intelligence via Neural Architecture, data processing speed 48 exaflops per second and 48 exabytes of memory).
The robot itself is rather complicated and capable of communicate on the topic of philosophy, identify racist inclinations interlocutor and even tell jokes.
It is worth noting that the name of the robot came from the name of his wife founder of the Terasem Movement Foundation, which created Robot, Bina Aspen.
For 20 hours, she talked with her on various topics, ranging from childhood to career. Further, all the information was uploaded to the database. artificial intelligence. Robot Designer David Hansen (David Hansen) only created a bust of Bina, but it had to spend 125 000 US dollars.

Patient Simulator SimMan 3G
This robot was created so that doctors can improve their knowledge and skills, practicing on this simulator. The car can and quite useful, but it looks a bit intimidating, especially when Simulation of bleeding, convulsions, screaming and discharge begins foam from the mouth.
SimMan 3G was created to simulate almost any situation, described in the medical book.

Geminoid F – female robot
Japanese Robot Specialist Hiroshi Ishiguro (Hiroshi Ishiguro) surpassed himself when he created Geminoid F, an android, like a woman, and able to smile, move smoothly eyebrows, talk and even sing.
To make a face, it took to use 12 mechanisms controls working due to air pressure. This allows android recreate human facial expressions.
Geminoid F is so realistic that it even played a female part in one of the performances in Tokyo.

Geminoid DK – a live robot
Another creation by Ishiguro recreates the image of Henrik Sharfe (Henrik Scharfe), Assistant Professor at the Danish University of Aalborg (Aalborg University). According to the inventor, his goal was to understand “emotional capabilities” of the robot while communicating with by man.
In the video you can see how realistic facial movements are, blinking and mouth movements.

Simroid – dental training robot
Perhaps the most disgusting thing about this robot is the fact that the “skin” around his mouth is so elastic that it can be stretched much stronger than human skin, nor will it crack. The oral cavity of the robot is crammed with sensors so that the robot can feign pain or discomfort.
The robot can also grumble if the doctor accidentally touches it. with the elbow.

Albert Hubo – Einstein Robot
A robot (or rather a robot head), which is very similar to Albert Einstein, runs on AA batteries. He boasts realistic facial expressions, and the head can be attached to the body the robot. In addition, the robot can speak in a voice similar to a voice Einstein himself.

HRP-4C – Human Robot
This robot was designed to look like an ordinary Japanese teenager. HRP-4C went through several stages of technological evolution – at first he could only talk, then he began to sing, and then and dance (albeit a little strange). Like most robots, this model could not simulate a human gait until passed the next stage of improvement.
Despite the fact that this robot still walks a little unevenly, many improvements made it more realistic compared to other androids.

FACE – a robot with a flexible face
Can a robot express emotions, so convincingly what scares? This is the goal pursued by Italian developers FACE robot. Their robot is equipped with 32 mechanisms located in skull and torso to mimic different expressions. Robot able to convey a sense of fear, anger, disgust, surprise, joy and sadness.

ASIMO is a robot that can do almost anything
Honda-built robot can run, climb steps, jump and hit the ball. Other than that, he can also do various actions with your own hands. With five fingers he can open the lid of the sealed bottle and pour the juice into glasses. So many possibilities are the result of work. many sensors built into the hand and working in conjunction with cameras installed in the eyes of the robot.
PETMAN – military robot
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency US Department of Defense DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) managed to create many robots for various missions, but PETMAN is arguably the most amazing of them. Robot similar to a man wearing a camouflage suit can climb steps, push ups, run and do many other movements on the battlefield.
Alice – the first realistic android from Russia
A group of specialists from the company Neurobotics involved in the creation the very first Russian android robot. Of course, this robot cannot compare with Japanese counterparts, which contain about 30 movable mechanisms for smoother movements. Alice has such there are only 8 mechanisms. Nevertheless, the robot can be controlled using gamepad. You can perform basic movements of the eyes and mouth of the robot.

It is worth noting that the android head is installed on the body ordinary mannequin, and that in turn is attached to the cart with wheels, which allows the robot to move. Inside the trolley you can detect batteries to power the robot.
The robot can use Skype for communication, and the camera, installed in the eyes of the android, transmit the video. To transmit audio microphones are used. It remains to wait for this robot to be perfected.
Giant robotic women wrestlers
These robots are the landmark of Tokyo’s first restaurant-restaurant. To build an institution where you can eat and it took 125.8 million US dollars to rest, despite that the menu mainly contains drinks.
Androids in bikinis, with legs as if borrowed from transformers can fight each other to the music of Lady Gaga and to look at their fight, visitors will have to lay out 50 dollars.

RoBoy – a robot printed on a 3D printer
Roboy is a humanoid created using a 3D printer. is he was built to help doctors diagnose stroke victims and understand how the brain and body interact.
“RoBoy will mimic the diseases that doctors need diagnose, “said Rafael Gosteller, head of Roboy’s project Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He added, that all data can be further used in prosthetics.
The robot was created by a team of more than 40 engineers and scientists. Him soft, elastic skin, modular muscles, and to make them better imitated human muscles, engineers attached to them coil springs.

The most difficult part of creating a robot was hand construction. They were first printed on a 3D printer along with the joints. After a large number of wires were inserted inside, placing them along thin channels.
To improve muscles, ligaments and related work electronics, a team was assembled from the Laboratory of Artificial University of Zurich Intelligence and Research Project Myorobotics, which is monitored by the Embedded Systems Lab Technical University of Munich.
RoBoy was first introduced to the public in March 2013 in Zurich. After that, his world tour started. Robot showed their skills at various exhibitions and in theaters.
