Or a half of a man in case of torso.
That's weird they decided to publish this with creepy horror-style sounds.
There is another video, showing only the torso. It has no music, but the actual sound and this is not even less terrifying https://youtu.be/gl0GnzPIOl4
Not much gets to me, but this shit is fucked up. I bet the people who work on these have horrible nightmares.

Bravo scientists for realizing how creepy this is and saying, let’s lean into it.
There's that bit in an episode of Red Dwarf, that may or may not have been a collective hallucinated memory of the crew, where they talk about a series of mechanoids (servant androids) that were "too human" looking and which unnerved customers.
The result of that was that they made their next series of mechanoids look like Kryten, with the low-poly heads on a similarly angular body.
Even if it was a false memory, the logic is absolutely sound. You want your 'bots to be at the other side of the uncanny valley, not at the bottom, creeping all horror-show-like up the side towards us.
Great, soon I won't even know if someone is human in real life as well. Youre all bots.
Nonsense, fellow human! I am sure you---l mean we---have nothing to fear!
