How far do you think robotics have come? Before you can finish saying “[ASIMO](http://world.honda.com/ASIMO/?ref=killscreen.com)”, get to know the Einstein-resembling robot which, thanks to scientists at the University of California, has *learned* various facial expressions by looking in a mirror and mimicking (so to speak):
