OUR TAKE While the technological marvel of these bionic robots is undeniable, it raises some disturbing questions about our future. Are we ready to accept machines that can simulate human emotions so convincingly? What happens to genuine human interactions when we start relying on robots for companionship and empathy? Elon Musk has gone on record saying he expects bionic robots to outnumber humans by at least two to one, in the future. That future appears to be on the way. –Doris Du, BTW reporter When I first heard about these humanoid robots from a factory in Dalian, China, I was sceptical. I thought it was another too-good-to-be-true tech story. But after digging deeper, I found out these robots are real and they’re starting mass production. These lifelike robots are designed with advanced facial expressions and emotions, making them appear almost human. They take between two weeks and a month to produce, with prices reaching up to 2 million yuan ($280,000).
