Geminoid-DK first smile

This is from the first test of the Geminoid. The first hint of a smile triggers immediate response. The people laughing in the background are the designers, who at this point have worked on the robot for months, and here see it operated for the first time.

OMG me too, and then he moved a little and I still thought he was just about to explain this robot. All of a sudden hes acting a little different and then i spat out my tea in the realization that he's the robot!!!! creepy!!!

I admit when I first watched this I wasn't quite sure what I was seeing, and I got a bit of that "uncanny valley" aversion when I found out that Geminoid was an android. However I don't feel it anymore, familiarity with the videos and with Geminoid has removed those reactions.

If you just look at the screen-shots, you could probably mistake him for a human. But when you watch the movements through, it still seems unnatural and a bit unnerving.
