What the hell is up with that creepy "toy" in Blade Runner?


This one.Is it human? Or a robot? Does it have self-awareness? Or just mindlessly follow some sort of protocol?The fact that it greets Sebastian and later Deckard in exactly the same manner seems to suggest that it's a machine programmed to do the same thing over and over, but in the scene from which that gif is taken, it looks absolutely terrified while Sebastian is talking to Batty. The emotion in its eyes makes it seem human, which is incredibly unsettling. And for some reason this is never even remotely explained in the movie. I can appreciate ambiguity (I love the ending of The Final Cut), but this is so bizarre it just seems out of place. And surprisingly, I never see anyone discuss it.
