Why Do All Child Bots Have To Be So Terrifying?

Japan’s University of Tsukuba maintains the trend of horrifying child bots with their new Yotaro baby simulator / stuffed bear thing, which aside from causing terror, is supposed to mimic the needs of a baby. The baby’s emotions display via an interactive screen.

A water tank supplies realistic tears and an infrared camera picks up your every move, so don’t even try to beat the baby when the scientists aren’t looking.
