I wonder if people will start to accept the uncanny valley as just one of the ways a robot can look. If something like this represents the quality of low end near future humanoids then I could see that happening.

Some actuators weren’t probably so redundant. The software shouldn’t try to reproduce the facial expressions 1:1 instead it should try to compensate the movements to look good. Like that choreography sw for HRP-4C compensates the position and movements.
This robot is at least an example that you can lower the effect of u.valley with aesthetics, an ugly robot would have a much more u.valley effect.
