This cluster of lifelike, mankind-mimicking innovations is full of humanized non-humans, like real-life versions of cartoon and video game characters. We've also featured paintings that look like photographs. There are also features about non-humans doing very human things, like robotic lovers.
Believe them or not, from sex robots to camera-like canvases, these mankind-mimicking innovations are very real.
Implications - Although this awesome collection of ideas might conjure up thoughts of famous movies like The Terminator or The Matrix, it is also a fantastic demonstration of how far robotic technology has become. Of particular note is the way that many of these innovations seem eerily lifelike. This truly is a brave new world we live in.
