Robots Moving Closer to Humans
"Isaac Asimov once wrote a story in which a man was suspected of being an especially lifelike robot. One character dismisses the possibility, saying that humans are so well attuned to the characteristics and tics of other humans that "it would be impossible to palm something merely nearly right off on us." In the future, that may or may not be true. But as of now, the uncanny valley has yet to be bridged."
