With long flowing hair and rosy red cheeks, you might do a double take when you see Jia Jia, a humanoid robot.

Dubbed the 'robot goddess', Jia Jia is being taught deep learning abilities, including understanding human language, and detecting facial expressions.

The life-like cyborg was displayed at the 2016 World Robot Conference, where she pulled in huge crowds eager to see her abilities.

HOW DOES JIA JIA WORK? It took a team three years to complete the robot, which can speak, show micro-expressions, move its lips and body, yet seems to hold its head in a submissive manner. The humanoid is programmed to recognize human/machine interaction, has autonomous position and navigation and offers services based on cloud technology. This humanoid has natural eye movement, speech that is in sync with its lip movement and refers to its male creators as 'lords'. Advertisement

Jia Jia is the brain child of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, who displayed her at the World Robot Conference in Beijing this week.

The humanoid robot is programmed to recognise human and machine interaction, with autonomous position navigation and services based on cloud technology.

At the event, JiaJia demonstrated her ability to communicate with humans, detecting facial expressions and responding to questions.

When asked by an audience-member 'What kind of skills do you have?', Jia Jia replied: 'I can talk with you. I can recognise faces. I can identify gender and age of people standing front of me, and I can detect your facial expressions.'

But these skills are no mean feat for Jia Jia's developers.

Speaking to The Mirror, Lu Dongcai, who leads the Jia Jia project, said: 'There are a few challenges about her.

'Firstly, she has to receive not only language but also facial expressions.

'Like what she showed just now, she can observe your facial expression, and give a natural response, so that you can see her intelligence.'

Alongside Jia Jia, several other advanced robots were showcased at the World Robot Conference.

In the exhibition area, a badminton robot demonstrated a badminton match with staff, while a bionic bird and butterfly was also on display.

At last year's World Robot Exhibition, an eerily life-like robot named Android Geminoid F was unveiled, with some fans even describing her as 'sexy'

The 5ft 6 inch android is capable of eye movements, response to eye-to-eye contact and can recognise body language.

Geminoid F has already taken the film industry by storm, becoming the first android to star in a film.

Earlier this year, she co-starred in a Japanese movie named 'Sayonara', about the after-effects of a nuclear power plant meltdown.
