Junichi Takeno and his team of jaded researchers developed the Kansei humanoid robot (“kansei” means sensibility in Japanese), which was recently demonstrated at Meiji University’s Robot and Science Institute in Kawasaki, Tokyo. Kansei’s game seems to be, type a word on its computer and the robot will show you the “appropriate” human emotion. But as you can see in this photo, even with the word “love,” Kansei still looks like it just crapped in its pants. It is supposedly capable of displaying up to 36 kinds of facial expressions, but we’ll bet our money all of them are variations of the “WTF?!” theme.

Kansei looks scared shitless even as grad student Lei Igarashi smiles at him.
