Robots just got creepier. The new FACE robot can express a range of human emotions that go beyond expressing happiness and sadness to show disgust and amazement, among other expressions. It can even adjust the intensity of each emotion displayed on a sliding scale.

The robot relies on 32 gears in its "face" (compared to approximately 52 muscles in a human face) that control the expressions and show emotion.
