Rong Cheng, the Chinese “beauty robot” created by the Institute of Automation of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, can do a lot of things. She can greet people in many Chinese dialects, she can respond to nearly 1,000 words, and she can even dance or bow. What she can’t do, much like the Korean Ever-1 Android, is win any beauty contests.

She’s not repulsive by any means, but at a construction price of $37,500, you’d think some of that yuan would have gone into sexing her up a little bit.
