Cool Robot Made of Frubber

Frubber Robot
The picture above is of a robot called Jules which has AI (artificial intelligence) and also has a face made of frubber which is an elastic polymer allowing realistic facial movement and speech. Also the frubber face requires low power to make it move.

When you watch the video after the jump you will see how well it interacts with those around and how… creepy it actually looks. It could be in 30 years or so that robots like this are common place and taking over our regular day to day tasks. Maybe they need to obey the rules of robots like on iRobot. Video after the jump.

Jules is built by Hanson Robotics. Full details can be found over on their site as well as information on other projects they have been building like the Pirate robot called Yargh-Bot.
