Human baby robot head is freaky

Konichiwa Affetto!

Modeled to be similar to a child of between one to two years old, Affetto is developed by Hisashi Ishihara, Yuichiro Yoshikawa and Prof. Minoru Asada of Osaka University in Japan and is designed to make realistic facial expressions so that humans can interact with it in a more natural way where it will be used to study the early stages of humans social development.

It’s a novel idea but if there are any lessons to be learned here its — it doesn’t mean you can create something, you should.

For more Affetto freakiness, head on over to after the jump for two videos of the barely human humanoid robot.
