Biomechanical Speech Synthesis
"This robot is designed to replicate human speech as realistically as possible, employing a 19 DoF vocal system which includes lungs, vocal cords, tongue, velum, jaw, and lips. He makes sounds in exactly the same way you do, by making slight adjustments to all of these organs as air moves over them… He’s just not very good at it, so far. "
The more I watch that
the stranger and funnier it gets
EDIT: This is really starting to freak me out. Why the shuddering fuck did someone deem it necessary to bespectacle the cunt?!

I think if you asked the people that made it they'd say something along the lines of:
"for lulz"

Interesting
I don't see much point in this from a chatty robot PoV - speakers are smaller and more efficient. Perhaps they are trying to make replacement vocal chords for people?
