Dr Morency knew from past experiments that lowering of vocal pitch and pausing were both cues likely to draw a nod from a listener, so these were things that he programmed the system to look out for.

Not only does the robot look Terminator-esque, but it's been designed to mimic the muscle system of a human (with bone-crushing strength, of course) and will be programmed with a semi-autonomous AI so that the android can learn new tasks, all of which is just a little too much like the Terminator for our comfort.
