New evidence suggests that we should add a fourth part to Asimov's Three Robot Laws, and it should read: A robot must never, ever mimic a human baby.
Sure we've seen robot babies before, but this one created by the UK's Chris Clarke writhes and struggles in its crib with such convincing accuracy that it's downright scary. The "baby" was created for an upcoming, unnamed television show, but the animatronic mechanism also serves to give us an early look at how increasingly easy it will be to create extremely realistic movements for humanoid robots.
You can see the robot baby in all its Terminator-as-toddler horrific glory in the video below.
