That isn't exactly the body of a robot designed to rescue trapped miners, or plug a radioactive leak. You think we don't know where you're going with this, Japan?

Holy mackerel!

But does she have the Three Laws? I don't think I'd want to have a girlfriend who was not programmed with "A robot shall not harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

taming male sexuality with pornographic robots is the only way forward. it will solve a myriad of global problems.

It's a home helper nurse robot. The girlfriend robots are much sexier.

Don't come running to us Japan when she gets all Skynety McCylon all over your ass.

Why are there no dumpy middle-age man robots?

This is FUCKED UP ! This needs to stop, immediately. It's a threat to global security.

Did you see the Honda robot Asimo serve drinks to Stephen Fry and the QI panelists, step down stairs, run, and then beg for a dance with Jo Brand?

I keep waiting for someone even trollier than me to say that he'd hit that.

The heck with the three laws. At this point, I think it's far more critical that there's a max limit on how far her jaws close.

Just saying.

It won't be pretty, but it's going to happen. Probably on camera.

Sorry, no. I wouldn't hit that.

Please don't ask her to drive.

I'm leaving my funds in escrow until they've perfected their Life-Like Texture™, currently in Beta.

Soon as that's sorted out I'm never leaving mom's basement again.

This one is firmly in the Uncanny Valley.

I can hardly wait for all the dubstep dance videos this thing is going to make.

Posted by Ziggity on December 5, 2011 at 3:47 PM

Mommy, I'm scared.

She looks like she took acting lessons from Joey Tribbiani.

You may laugh, but at the point they get these to do 65% of what a real female does in bed, forgetaboudit, guys will be opting out of the gene pool right and left.
