Cute or creepy?

I'm at the Science Museum with Ian to see the Robots exhibition.

I was afraid there would be loads of kids but luckily they were all next door at the National History Museum checking out the whale.

A very well curated little exhibition, the show took us on a romp through the history of robotics, both factually and also in film and TV.

This is Inkha, Kings College's robot receptionist. I think she's rather coquettish. 

We also loved Pepper  the little French robot. Less so the Telenoid which we all found disturbing. The idea is that you call your friends who live far away and their faces are projected onto the robot's face. It's supposed to make you feel like they are in the room. We don't think so.
