Being human takes more than just looking human, say robotics researchers

There's more to being human than just faking it: even when robots are advanced enough to learn, smile, and even display emotions, they're still not human, say robotics researchers.
Popular culture has long pondered the question, "If it looks like a
human, walks like a human and talks like a human, is it human?"
So far the answer has been no. Robots can't cry, bleed or feel like
humans, and that's part of what makes them different.
Biologically inspired robots aren't just an ongoing fascination in
movies and comic books; they are being realized by engineers and
scientists all over the world.
Scientists and engineers take several approaches to control robots.
The main difference between the two systems is that robots using fuzzy
logic perform with a set knowledge that doesn't improve; whereas, robots
with neural networks start out with no knowledge and learn over time.
