If you are an avid sci-fi reader ; heck even if you aint one - you must have seen Terminator series of movies. While the erstwhile Terminator now goes about threatening senators at vetoing their budgets, the threat to humanity from intelligent androids hasnt abated yet. And going by the successes of the Japanese in this field, they seem hell bent on ensuring that a far-fetched scenario as seen in Terminator comes to life as soon as possible.
Check out thir robotic girl which they claim (Osaka University) has been created from a real 5 year old girl. I dont know about you, but this is definitely the stuff the worst nightmares are made of. Shes being called as the Repliee R-1 ; and I definitely dont think that the background score is helping any.
