Scientists in Korea have developed the female android... also known as a "fembot". :) While the bot doesn't move it's lower half, it's face is actuated with a bunch of tiny motors that synch it's lips to speech and allow it to make eye contact while talking. They hope to have it able to walk and sit down by the end of this year.

fembot - that name is straight out of Futurama.
ReplyDeleteboo-urns on the un-original Korean scientists
Futurama was out before Austin Powers? I never realized that.
ReplyDeleteI would have guess powers came first.
