Actroid DER2

This followup to the Actroid DER, builds upon the first version and adds "more facial expressions". The bot is controlled by a "system of actuators powered by pneumatic pressure." One drawback, you'll have to shell out $3500 to rent Actroid DER2 for 5-days. See it in action after the jump.
She can coordinate her motions with her voice using pneumatic pressure actuators, and is generally a pretty good substitute for flesh-based Wal-Mart greeters

Still not realistic enough. They should rather work on not making the entire body wobble when everytime "she" moves something, instead of making lifelike texture. First inner workings, then looks.
