A humanoid robot capable of crying on command is drawing attention online, with coverage describing the technology as increasingly lifelike and unsettling. The robot's ability to produce tears on demand highlights how far emotional mimicry in machines has advanced, and reactions so far lean toward discomfort at the creepy realism rather than celebration.
Why now: People are unsettled and fascinated by robots displaying convincingly human emotional behavior like crying.
