When ever we think of robots its either of friendly R2D2 types or evil Terminator T1000's that comes to mind, Flobi the robot engineered at Bielefeld University in Germany has managed to freak us out and captivate us all at the same time. Flobi was design to make the most realistic facial expressions possible by moving its eyes, eyebrows and mouth, At about the size of a human head the German engineers palns for it to be effective in communication as well as sensing.
Inside this machine theres a lot going on in order to make this Robot function, inside actuators,microscopes, gyroscopes, and cameras which gives it the ability to blush and move its facial features. While amazing work that's done by the engineers, my only request for all future robots is that they look less creepy and wont harvest or bodies for energy.
