Aunque sean figuras antropomórficas y se mueven de formas similar a los humanos, sus proporciones físicas y la imagen que representan no pretenden sustituir la imagen de una persona real. Sin embargo lo que sería una auténtica pesadilla es abrir la puerta de casa y encontrarse con uno de los androides de Actroid moviendose torpemente y frunciendo su ceño de silicona, por muy buenas intenciones o minifalda que lleve. Para suavizar estos problemas se usan diseños más neutros que recuerdan pero no intentan imitar a un ser humano, como muñecos con rasgos humanos poco marcados o simplificados, como el Asimo de Honda, el Qrio de Sony, o el RI-MAN del Rike. El robot Albert Hubo estaría ya entrando en el peligroso terreno del rechazo del valle inexplicable, al integrar la cabeza animatrónica de Albert Einstein en un cuerpo robótico, pero seguramente eso es lo que estén buscando (llamar la atención).

But I’m not so sure it’s entirely a xenophobic thing. I have to admit, if it were me, I’d much rather have my spoon-feedings and enemas performed by a robot. Especially this one. Still, over the long term, the Japanese jones for robots should continue to push breakthroughs in a robotics industry that is already the world’s most advanced. [...]
