It's a little bit scary how realistic some robots are. While robots still seem like a thing of the future to most people, the truth is that they're here already, and a lot of them look incredibly realistic and are capable of doing remarkable things.
There are robots which perform certain tasks like robots that can bartend and those intended to fight fires. Slightly disturbing are the robots with "emotions", and there are several of them.
This slideshow highlights some of the most peculiar and frighteningly real robots featured on Trend Hunter; get to know them, these could be your future colleagues... or worse, replace you, in which case its best to know your enemies.
