Repliee Q1, the almost human robot

National Geographic presented some interesting news on the Repliee Q1, a very human robot, on June 10th.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"June 10, 2005—Quick, which one is the robot?
Repliee Q1 (at left in both pictures) appeared yesterday at the 2005 World Expo in Japan, where she gestured, blinked, spoke, and even appeared to breathe. Shown with co-creator Hiroshi Ishiguru of Osaka University, the android is partially covered in skinlike silicone. Q1 is powered by a nearby air compressor, and has 31 points of articulation in its upper body.
Internal sensors allow the android to react "naturally." It can block an attempted slap, for example. But it's the little, "unconscious" movements that give the robot its eerie verisimilitude: the slight flutter of the eyelids, the subtle rising and falling of the chest, the constant, nearly imperceptible shifting so familiar to humans.
Surrounded by machines that draw portraits, swat fast-moving balls, and snake through debris, Q1 is only one of the showstoppers at the expo's Prototype Robot Exposition, which aims to showcase Japan's growing role in the robotics industry. Le Robot est ici une femme.
But given Q1's reported glitch-related "spasms" at the expo, it may be a while before androids are escorting tour groups or looking after children—which may be just as well. "When a robot looks too much like the real thing, it's creepy," Hiroshi told the Associated Press.

Pretty cool. Looks like we may need a Blade Runner sooner then expected. Run Rachel! Run!

We must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced these murderers. - Martin Luther King Jr. Eulogy for the Martyred Children (1963)
It'll be good argument for men. Some women say well we don't need men except for lifting heavy stuff and breeding. After these android chicas, we don't need women, period.

Le Robot est ici une femme.
The robot is here a woman.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

Why did they make her look like a newsdesk anchor? Surely we can improve the female form beyond our wildest fantasies? Why replicate reality when one can surpass it?
Let's face it... with genetic technology women can effectively procreate amongst themselves... which makes males technically redundant. Could we not perform a counter strategy?

What's that graph I'm remembering?
The one where it says that if something is ALMOST human but not quite, human beings will be freaked out...or something.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
