<blockquote>
Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1.



<img width="203" height="305" border="0" src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/4 ... ty_203.jpg" /> 
She has flexible silicone for skin rather than hard
plastic, and a number of sensors and motors to allow her to turn and
react in a human-like manner.


She can flutter her eyelids and move her hands like a human. She even appears to breathe.

I Submit ...

I submit for your "low tech" consideration,

a - fetish - icon equally high in silicates that will never need a,

a battery recharge.

Until petrochemicals evaporate.
The 'future' is this 'morning after', ""smell of VICTORY"".

Not as socially redeeming as your sister's Barbie(TM), but her I.Q. may be equivalent to most trophy spouses. And, this paper weight will never walk out with 50% of what you own (plus court costs) because you farted in the jacuzzi, and left the cap off the tooth paste ...

That robot looks hot. I give it days before it becomes a sex toy.

I hate robot-girl anime.

Crafty nips are at it again! Their robot fetish will be the end of us all!

Seriously though, robots as engineering constructs are boring. I'm more into the behavioral AI theory. Uh, not the arcane calculus stuff.

Japs did it so I'd figured her outer frame would be of 12-year-old girl. And they made some middle-aged woman. Astounding!

Days? Why else would you buy a robot woman. Unless you wanted to send her back in time to kill John Connor :O

Her hands are disgusting

It seems to be wearing some sort of gloves.

Another triumphant innovation for the sex industry: Custom made sex dolls. I want one that screams and resists.

Why the hell would you make a female robot, and not give it a rack worth looking at?

ExtremeDrinker · Post by **ExtremeDrinker** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 5:44 pm

Who cares about a rack...It needs a fully functional vibrating anus.

You fucko!
