There have been some big advances in the field of robotic technology. And here's one: a humanoid robot receptionist called Nadine. Developed by scientists at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, Nadine is said to have her own personality, mood and emotions. And she is apparently a life-life copy of her creator Professor Nadia Thalmann. (Picture: Nadine the robot / Credit: Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
