This is a normal post Really?
Tom was as enthusiastic as always and its an interesting video but I found the robot to be very unconvincing: not even close to the uncanny valley for me. The dead eyes, the way the mouth/lips moved and the skin texture/colour were all off and it didn't have any of the rapid and subtle micro movements a real person makes all the time.

This is a normal post Probably still realistic enough for it to serve the main purpose he bought it for which is obviously so he can have sex with himself.

This is a normal post I'm sure its 'fully functional'...
...but only from the neck upwards apparently!

This is a normal post All this technology, just so he can suck his own cock.
Bill Hicks was right.

This is a normal post Dosn't look like it can suck, more of a gentle gnaw

This is a normal post Yes, a little disappointing.
Maybe if they teach it to yodel...

This is a normal post ^
Lifeless gaze and something seriously weird about the eyelids. Mouth movement when talking looks to be almost just open or shut. Even smart tracking for the eyes, so it makes eye contact or looks at cameras, would swing it a fair way. As it is, it comes across like someone fitted a Lego Technic Control Centre into a corpse. Static images look bad enough, but movement kills any illusion completely.

Vastly different budget I know, but not a patch on Amalgamated Dynamics' work.
