Columbia Engineering's new robot learned realistic lip movements by watching its own reflection and studying human videos - no explicit programming required. Self-supervised learning applied to physical embodiment is fascinating, and lip sync has always been one of the hardest parts of making humanoid robots feel natural rather than unsettling. Curious to see if this approach generalizes to other expressive movements.

The breakthrough that makes robot faces feel less creepy

Humans pay enormous attention to lips during conversation, and robots have struggled badly to keep up. A new robot developed at Columbia Engineering learned realistic lip movements by watching its own reflection and studying human videos online. This allowed it to speak and sing with synchronized facial motion, without being explicitly programmed. Researchers believe this breakthrough could help robots finally cross the uncanny valley.
