Jules the Robot is Scarily Realistic

By Dan Gould on October 31, 2008

Just in time for Halloween, Gizmodo has posted what may be the creepiest thing you’ll see all day. A team at The University of Bristol, UK, have created a very realistic looking robot head capable of complex facial expressions. Jules is the robot’s name, and 34 servos can mimic human expressions real-time. Prepare to be freaked out, because we’re leaving the uncanny valley in the dust.
