VIDEO: THE ROBOT ERA IS UPON US AS JAPAN SETS TO LAUNCH 'REPLACEMENT WORKERS'...(WATCH)

Female "Receptionist" Robot shows emotion...




We saw a news clip of Japan launching Humanoid "Replacement Workers" (model names HRP-4C) but we can't find it anywhere online-- yet. However, we did come across some other examples of how Robots are set to take over. Japan claims their Robots will replace "aging" workers and will fulfill such duties as heavy lifting and other grueling and repetitive job functions to make up for the country's narrowing population growth. Crazy, right? We think so. Pop the Trunk to see more of these Humanoids and what positions they will play in our society...

This Robot assists dental students...
This is the Baby robot with more than 60 built-in touch sensors...
Model poses with the Female Humanoid Robot designed to her likeness...
Female Humanoid claps and waves, two of many human functions...
The R2 is still in development but is set to join 6 astronauts in space as an assistant. It will fulfill such tasks as handing the astronauts tools and going along on space-walks. They say once equipped, the Robot will go on these dangerous walks alone.


And, finally, here's the "companion" robot. The motorized version of a blow=up doll. Not kidding.
