Android Copy of Danish Man Unveiled

An anonymous reader writes "The Geminoid family, a series of ultra-realistic androids, each a copy of a real person, has a new member: Geminoid DK, a robot clone of a Danish researcher and the most realistic Geminoid yet. The robot has lifelike facial features and movements, blinking, smiling, frowning with incredible realism. The Danish researcher, Henrik Scharfe of Aalborg University, teamed up with Japanese animatronics firm Kokoro and roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro to create his robot twin, which he plans to use to study human-robot interaction and cultural differences in the perception of robots. This is the first Geminoid that is not based on a Japanese person; it's also the first bearded one."

OK, who else thought "Danish Man" was the name of game that's being ported to Android?

Well... As a guy, I'm waiting for the young Japanese female robot with working pussy and mouth...

And as a Slashdotter, you're probably also waiting for it to come with realistic fur and a tail.
