The Cylons Are Coming: Ultra-Realistic Android Will Haunt You

Every once in a while a video comes around showing off the latest advancements in robot technology and human-like androids being created every day. For we geeks, it can’t be helped but to assume such advancements are just another step toward the machines rising up, taking over, and killing us all much like we saw in Battlestar Galactica with the Cylons or in The Terminator movies.
Over the past couple of years we’ve seen some pretty ridiculous androids that looked way too realistic for our own comfort, but today we have one that puts them ALL to shame.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Geminoid DK, an android modeled after Associate Professor Henrik Scharfe of Aalborg University in Denmark. What you’re about to see will likely do one of two things: explode your brain or cause you to weep uncontrollably in the fetal position. Mine was the latter.
Click on over to the other side now to see some videos of Geminoid DK.
