For most of the video you can tell she's a robot, but there's actually a few spots where she could pass as a human being no problem. For example, 1:47-2:00.

Crazy stuff.

It must be destroyed for the good of mankind!

Or at least given a less creepy skin-tone.

I watched the video, but it didn't creep me out lol...
Then again I know my uncanny-valley response is somewhat broken lol.

I would rather have Bender monitor me than this thing. At least I know I can't trust him.

I was expecting the robot to stand up at some point, lift its arm, open its mouth, and then just let out an inhuman noise: RTRTRETRRTRRTRTRTRTRTRRRTRTRTRTRTRTRT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then while the scream paralyzes you, another robot appears from nowhere with a hacksaw. It will collect your brain, whether you like it or not.

To all robot designers:

Whenever you come up with a new idea for a robot, ask yourself "What would this machine's role be in a Doctor Who episode based on it?". If the answer is: 'Creepy murderous alien robot', then you've failed in making a comforting and lifelike representation of a person.

Well done.

Instead of making it look like a realistic human and giving us an uncanny valley meltdown while we are sick in hospital, can they make it look pretty without the human features, like a huskey pup, or possibly Jessica Rabbit?

Personally I find the SR-71 black bird spy plane to be pretty, couldn't I have one of those look after me next time I'm in hospital?

I have to admit, at first I didn't think it was a robot.
But then it moved...

I really wish it hadn't, because it freaked me right the hell out. Somone please just stop it now!

Also was I the only one who thought Japan as soon as I saw the first 3 words of this articles title?

As someone who spends most of his time in hospital, Damn robot, you scary! I'd probably wake up in the middle of the night, think its about to attack me and batter it to death with an IV stand!
