CES 2025: Humanoid robots with AI-augmented conversation skills

 

Just.  Plain.   Creepy.

And did she have to be so Nordic?

Why are so many "humanoid" robots not very human at all? If it has two arms, (optional) two legs and some type of head, we ascribe human characteristics to it, even if the face is a blank plastic panel or a screen. But there's a good reason for that: the closer a robot appears to be human, the more difficult it is to pull off the illusion. Realbotix's Aria looks more convincing, even if its movements still evoke a famous pirate ride. But where Realbotix's effort shines is in its AI-based social interaction.
