Are these lifelike robots cool or creepy? Is there an issue of these robots of being too real? Can this pose some sort of threat to society?
Implications - Some might say that technology is getting freakishly close to creating artificial intelligence, and with these human-like robots, they'll have the perfect bodies to inhabit. With heads that seem so lifelike and skin perfectly textured, these robots might even become undetectable to the average human population. Although that would be kind of creepy, we can rest assured that these machines won't be taking the lives of their creators any time soon, as technology isn't that far advanced yet.
