China has unveiled its first interactive robot - which can chat away to humans and even take orders from iCloud.

The incredibly life-like robot has taken three years to build and was proudly showed off recently.

As this astonishing video shows, she can hold conversations with humans and at one point even responds to a camera being pushed close to her face.

As a member of the media holds the camera, she says: "The photo taken from that angle with make my face look bigger".

When the researcher says "hello" to the robot, she replies: "Yes, my lord, what can I do for you."

When asked to "please wave your hand" she does just that, much to the astonishment of those watching.

Her developers say she is programmed to match human facial expressions, body and mouth movements.

She can even offer services based on cloud technology and can position herself independently.
