Dr Ishiguro has made himself a twin. The Geminoid has 50 sensors under it's surface, cameras for eyes, and a speaker box linked to the good doctor. More interestingly, the Geminoid is crafted to look like Dr. Ishiguro. Dr. Ishiguro claims that the human likeness of the robot makes it easier for other people to interact with the robot without that 'creepy feeling'. Although Dr. Ishiguro also claims that he has developed such a connection with Geminoid that he can feel what touches Geminoid as though it was touching himself.
