Seems reasonably plausible to me from where we're at now.

Why is it that robots that are made to look real are more spooky than robots that look like robots? Seriously, the humanoid ones with faces absolutely terrify me. And I can't explain why because I know it's not real. But the lizard part of my brain is not convinced.

I am sure you are familiar with the term uncanny valley.  Though in the example above I think what I found so disturbing was how un-human they looked while having human like skin.  I think it may be similar to how some people are afraid of clowns -- they have human like features but are not human (clowns are obviously human under the makeup, but the illusion is there).
