just some snippets from the article:

"Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android"

"She is designed to look human and although she can only sit at present, she has 31 actuators in her upper body, powered by a nearby air compressor, programmed to allow her to move like a human. "

I saw a documentary on Discovery called Incredible Robots, there were some pretty cool robots in that one.
