National Geographic News has a great video clip of robots that have eerily human facial expressions:

The research they’ve done into how the human body actually moves … they’ve got servo-motors attached to where tendons would be in the human skulls … they’ve got the muscles stimulated so they’re pulling and moving to get beautifully articulated faces …

    I can't wait to get a robot. The first thing I will make it do is get me a beer out of the fridge ;>)
