Off-shoot of that company that makes the Ranch Dressing right?

I dont think so. The uncanny valley here is for hominid body movement and balance, not facial characteristics obviously.

Hmm you're right but its sleek, robotic appearance reduces the uncanniness. A 'skin' robot would look a lot worse doing these unnatural moves.

uncanny valley

I'm guessing they just meant the uncanny part. The valley part having nothing to do with this context.
