Creepy robots

I'm not sure why I find these robot videos so creepy:





It might be the far too rapid, but human-like movement of the robots. Or it could be because the robots are handling food and other items which I expect to be handled with care and love, by people.

I'm certainly not against automation. For my work I analyze terabytes of scientific data and the only way I can do it is by writing programs to make the computer do it for me.

But I think if it were a robot sitting at a desk doing calculations with a pencil and eraser, so I could see human-like actions, I'd think it was kind of creepy.

Its been forever since I posted. I think I was waiting for something important to write about or something. Anyway, this isn't important but it is cool. I went to a workshop at the aspen center for physics and I took some photos. Here they are:
