You're not my type [AutomAtion Robotics]

Geminoid-F is currently among the most advanced humanoid robots on the market, but her lack of lower motor skills highlights the progress humanoid robotics still has to make. Due to the complex development of actuators in multi-limbed robots, the majority of android and humanoid robots currently still experience a limited range of movement. Sci-fi has a lot to answer for: what society may perceive as slow progress in robotics is predominantly influenced by the aesthetic expectations we place on android and humanoid robots. Saygin says the parameters of `acceptable' motion of these robots are extremely high, thanks to the highly sophisticated movement of `robots' in films such as `Terminator', which mimic a human's exactly. Industrial robots are mercifully not subject to such strictures.
