Are there any robots that look creepy?

Of course there are robots that make us look scared. Not all robots are cute. Some robots are designed to be cute and approachable. On the other hand, some robots are creepy. There are nine terrible robots here.

Medical micro-robot scientists at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, have found a way to develop micro-robots and provide drugs accurately in the human body. That technology is so cool that there is no doubt that this robot will be put into use. But what will happen if this remote control machine falls into the wrong hands? Unlike traditional robots, this kind of micro-robot has no motor and is very flexible. With the help of magnetic nanoparticles, they can swim, the size of which is equivalent to that of bacteria, so they can swim freely in the human body. Isn't it horrible?

Roboticists have put forward a theory that humanoid robots that look like humans but are not exactly the same will cause people's disgust. His "Ghost Valley Theory" obviously applies to Korea. Han made by Hanson Robotics is a bald, masculine robot and quite smart. Do you feel uneasy when you see his frivolous appearance?

Kathy, a biped robot, what kind of humanoid robot is more creepy? What about a robot that looks like a half-man? Cassie biped robot made by Agility Robotics can walk and run. In engineering design, it is extremely difficult to make biped mobile. At present, Kathy faces the R&D market. The robot platform with only feet is specially built for robot engineers to solve the mystery of walking upright. But if you encounter this kind of thing in the forest, you will probably run away in fear.

American artist Jordan Walson created a life-size electronic statue. The strange blonde is wearing a white skirt, long high heels and a witch mask. The robot's body is covered with mud. Through programming, she will dance in front of the mirror and use facial recognition technology to make disturbing eye contact with the audience. Unlike other robots on this list, women's bodies are amazing.

Robot mouth, a terrible monster, is basically based on human mouth, with air pump as lung, false vocal cords, silicone tongue and openable nasal cavity. It was developed to understand how to reproduce the human mouth in structure, which will be of great help in building more realistic robots. Hideyuki Sawada, a professor at Kagawa University in Japan, has a mouth robot that can hear itself, which also enables it to analyze what it is doing and make it smarter.

Samantha, sometimes it's not the robot itself that makes people feel uneasy. Take Samantha as an example, it is obvious that people are uncomfortable with the way she uses it. According to the manufacturer's website, "Samantha is not just a sex doll." Interactive humanoid robots with artificial intelligence can tell jokes and even have a "family" mode. But this may not be the reason why consumers spend $4,000 to start. At a recent electronics exhibition, although the robot was humorous, it was touched by a male visitor and climbed on it, and it was seriously damaged.

Actroid robot This is another case of the "horror valley theory". Actroid robot, which came out in 2003, has been upgraded several times over the years. It aims to copy an ordinary young Japanese woman as much as possible. To tell the truth, the subsequent version is equipped with an air compressor that can respond to social clues and voice commands, which is quite realistic. But seeing these calm, almost human-like robots still gives us goose bumps. Humans are not so calm.

The handle of Boston Dynamics, a two-wheeled humanoid robot, may destroy mankind. At last year's conference, Marc Report, the founder of Boston Dynamics, said, "This is a conference for robots that I think will bring nightmares." It's like a ghoul waking up from a deep sleep and coming out for food. This is also an incredible achievement in physics. Through the excellent combination of wheels and feet, it is flexible, vigorous and runs very fast.

The developer of "underwater snake" Eelume did not intend to use expensive large equipment to perform small tasks, but envisioned a flexible robot. It can act as a "gatekeeper" on the seabed, helping to inspect underwater pipelines and inaccessible infrastructure. With the snake-shaped design, this flexible and slender robot named Eelume can stay underwater all the time and enter as easily as a snake.
