RoboFake: Are Deepfake Detectors Ready for Humanoid Face Robots?
Humanoid face robots can now move their lips in sync with speech and show detailed facial expressions. Give such a robot the face of a real person and drive it with generated speech, and you get a face forgery that happens in front of the camera: the camera records a real object, and no pixel is edited. We call this a RoboFake. In this paper we ask what current deepfake detectors do when they see a robot face. We test six public detectors trained on FaceForensics++ on video of a physical lip-syncing face robot, on a synthesized video of the same robot, and on rendered robot faces. All thresholds are fixed on FaceForensics++, and every result is compared with real human faces that went thr...
