A Gallery of Unusual Chinese Robots
Roland Piquepaille writes "Chinese engineers have unveiled a series of robots lately — without releasing lots of technical details about them. In the past two months, I've gathered pictures of robots which can act as waiters in restaurants in Hong Kong or pull rickshaws near Beijing. I've also found a four-finger robotic hand able to play organ, a female robot greeting tourists visiting the Sichuan Science Museum with 'ni hao' ('How are you?' in Mandarin — if my sources are correct), and even a robotic chimpanzee."
I am now officially creeped-out.
That was worse than looking at pictures of clowns.

Uttering logically derived and empirically supported truths to the disciples of the orthodox establishment.
obviously was intended to cater to a certain kind of folk. Being made mostly of silver, it's quite clear that the creator either doesn't like vampires and doesn't want them to enjoy his invention, or he plans to use his robo-child as a vampire-tracking/slaying weapon.
It's so obvious..I mean, look at the face on the thing. It's almost as if it's saying "zomg a vampire! let's go kill it, father!"
I see through the lies.

I'm guessing that one would be male.
