This is what the K-bot used to look like
He reckons that in the future when we have to communicate with machines we will be able to do it by speaking to a robot head like the K-bot.
And unlike most pieces of top technology the face was really cheap to build, setting Hanson back around £250.
The technology used in K-bot may even be used to create versions of other body parts, perhaps leading to a full size robot that looks just like a person.
