Fake Robot Baby Provokes Real Screams

Uncanny valley, heard of it? No worries, you're knee-deep in it right now. It's the revulsion you feel to robots, prostheses, or zombies that try, but don't quite duplicate their human models. As the robot becomes more humanlike, however, our emotional response becomes increasingly positive and empathetic. Unfortunately, the goal of Osaka University's AFFETTO was to create a robot modeled after a young child that could produce realistic facial expressions in order to endear it to a human caregiver in a more natural way. Impressive, sure, but we're not ready to let it suckle from our teat just yet.

verizon iphone shipping


The No. 1 U.S. mobile service started taking online orders for its Apple Inc iPhone at 3 a.m. EST on Thursday, a week before it is due to hit its store shelves. Verizon Wireless had said it was preparing for heavy demand. Spokeswoman Brenda Raney said the company was pleased with how the online system had performed and that "the majority of customers have been able to process their orders with no problems." However, this was not the case for everybody.
"We are aware that some customers have received error messages and we are working through the issues with the individuals to ensure they get their order placed," Raney said.
Verizon's launch of online sales ended AT&T Inc's more than three-year hold on U.S. operator distribution of the popular device.
When AT&T and Apple launched pre-orders of the iPhone 4 in June last year, heavy demand caused technical problems on both companies' websites.
