Ever-1: Android Robot
Ever-1 is the name of the latest android capable of humanoid facial expressions and the second in line after the first one made in Japan,
 
Developed by Korean Institute for Industrial Technology (KITECH),  at first glance it's difficult to make out that she is an android, as she is built to resemble a 20's woman, 160 cm tall and weighing 50 kgs.

 

At the moment, Ever-1 can recognize 400 words and can hold a basic verbal exchange. Her skin is made of silicon jelly that feels similar to human skin and she can express happiness, anger, sadness & pleasure; though the movement is currently limited to the upper portion of the body.

I believe that is still a keyword here... They can express it, but not experience it. At least not yet, hopefully.
