This from the Daily Mail:
Jules has 34 internal motors covered with flexible rubber (‘Frubber’) skin, which was commissioned from roboticist David Hanson in the US for BRL.
It was originally programmed to act out a series of movements – as can be seen in the video – where ‘Jules’ talks about ‘destroying Wales’.
The technology works using ten stock human emotions – such as happiness, sadness, concern etc – that the team ‘taught’ Jules via programming.
The software then maps what it sees to Jules’s face to combine expressions instantly to mimic those being shown by a human subject.
Jules was created by David Hanson of Hanson Robotics

Yikes. This poor guy is stuck right in the abyss of the uncanny valley.

Yo,this robot guy is crazy because he does look like a real person,but he quoted “I would like to destroy the earth.” That is not a good thing because robots do not destroy the earth and they do not look like humans.
