I wonder what is it with the design of current humanoid robots being made intentionally spooky? Is it an aversion for any creative professionals and artists that "techbros" behind startups have? Few seem to care about artistic side of things like e.g. Enchanted Tools does. x.com/mako_63/stat...

At the entrance to ATR (which houses Hiroshi Ishiguro's Laboratories) there's also an AVITA virtual assistant screen (was offline with idle animation while I was visiting).
