C'mon, we already have USB dildoes and highly realistic Jap sex dolls with vibrating snappers and digital voiceboxes.
There is all kinds of machine sex on the internet. (you'd be looking for "fucking machines" in your Google search) I've seen a Honda robot that walks and plays Moon River on the trumpet. There will be a convergence soon. We will have walking, talking Fuckbots for sale within the next twenty years, or less. Probably less. Mark my words. |

c'mon. really? any of you? really think that a robot is hot?
for Gods sake, you would really put your dick into a fake pussy, just because it looks "good"? this place is more pathetic than I thought |
|
Don't bash it till you've tried it. |

I don't know about stickin' it... but if I could get a couple of naked sexbots to get me coffee and rub my back... Well, I'd be pretty happy. |

Wonder what sort of rifle-cleaning attachments she comes with.

Shit, this has been a fantasy of theirs for decades. Re: Chobits, Angelic Layer, Steel Angel Kurumi, Ghost in the Shell, and a shitload of other anime shows that feature robotic characters but don't focus on them as the main plot. |

Japan is also very anti-immigration and xenophobic, I remember reading about how Japanese hospital patients would rather face a ROBOT nurse than a Filipina nurse. Just because she isn't a JAPANESE.

but when I demand a japanese nurse all I hear is "you're not attracted to the real me anymore" |

Japan Seeks Robotic Help in Caring for the Aged
By James Brooke, the New York Times March 5, 2004 MACHIDA, Japan- With an electronic whir, the machine released a dollop of "peach body shampoo," a kind of body wash. Then, as the cleansing bubbling action kicked in, Toshiko Shibahara, 89, settled back to enjoy the wash and soak cycle of her nursing home's new human washing machine. "The temperature is just right — the bubbles are really comfortable," she said, happily sealed up to her neck inside the Sanyo Electric Company's latest elder care product. Turning to an attendant hovering around the pink, clamshell-shaped "assisted-care bath," she asked, "May I have a bit more water, please?" Futuristic images of elderly Japanese going through rinse and dry cycles in rows of washing machines may evoke chills. But they also point to where the world's most rapidly aging nation is heading. This spring Japanese companies plan to start marketing a "robot suit," a motorized, battery-operated pair of pants designed to help the aged and infirm move around on their own. Then there is the Wakamaru, a mobile, three-foot-high speaking robot equipped with two camera eyes. It is used largely by working people to keep an eye on their elderly parents at home. These devices and others in the works will push Japanese sales of domestic robots to $14 billion in 2010 and $40 billion in 2025 from nearly $4 billion currently, according to the Japan Robot Association. Leaders of the Philippines and Thailand, two countries that are negotiating free trade pacts with Japan, suggest a different route: granting work visas to tens of thousands of foreign nurses. But that is unlikely in a nation that last year granted asylum to only 10 refugees and in the last decade has issued about 50,000 work visas a year — a fraction of the 640,000 immigrants a year that demographers say are necessary to prevent Japan's population from shrinking. Building on such xenophobia, Japan's nurses' unions successfully lobbied lawmakers of the governing Liberal Democratic Party in late February to block the admission of foreign doctors and nurses. Caught between Japan's high labor costs and anti-immigrant sentiment, some mainstream politicians have even suggested exporting some of Japan's elderly to Thailand and the Philippines, but that has never won much popular support. So even though the human washing machine retails for almost $50,000, enough to pay a year's wages for two Filipino nurses, robotic home care may lie in the future for Japan's aging millions. Fueling the demand is the decision by the government to push for home care for the elderly. Nursing homes are not seen as a financially viable option in a society where the portion of people aged 65 or over is forecast to soar to 36 percent in 2050, from 19 percent today. By that time there may be only one worker for every retiree. But Japanese women increasingly rebel against traditional expectations that they will stay home to care for aged relatives, creating an ever-larger pool of elderly people in need of care. "There are 600 would-be residents on the waiting list here," said Yukiko Sato, general manager of the Katsura-ryo nursing home here, which has only 80 residents. A year ago Katsura-ryo became one of the first 100 pioneer companies in Japan to buy Sanyo's new washing machine for people. "Residents say it is really good because they warm their whole body, they can take the bath on their own, they can protect their privacy," Ms. Sato said. "As for the staff, it means less burden on their backs. Also, they can save time, because the whole procedure can be done in a very short time." To operate the washer, the user sits in a chair that is rolled backward into place. The sides of the machine then close like a clamshell, forming an instant tub with the person's head sticking out the top. Shampooing and drying is done by hand. At a Sanyo office in Tokyo, Hiroaki Otsubo, a general director for biomedical business development, noted that the washing machine had been developed by Mitsuru Haruyama, a businessman crippled by muscular dystrophy. "Some people in the industry say Japanese people are not able to accept a robot as a nurse, that they attach importance to the humanity aspect," Mr. Otsubo said. "So we are stuck in the middle between efficiency and nursing with a human touch. But if you pay attention to the humanity side, you obviously need labor power." But several elderly women living in Katsura-ryo said they rather enjoyed their robotic baths. "It automatically washes my body, so I am quite happy about it," said Kuni Kikuchi, an 88-year-old in a wheelchair who is paralyzed on her left side after a stroke. "These bubbles are good for the massage effect." Eiko Suzuki, 73, generally agreed, saying: "I like both ways. But it is a machine and it hasn't got a heart. So once they set the program they can't change it midway." Ms. Shibahara, whom the nursing home chose to demonstrate the washing machine, said: "With this `hirb' you don't get a chill. You feel always warm." On the front of each machine Sanyo stamps "HIRB," short for harmony in roll-lo bathing, because people are rolled in. But for older Americans it might evoke memories of another effort to humanize a machine — the Disney movie about "Herbie," the Volkswagen "love bug" with feelings. |

I Love My Computer, featuring Chobits.
Chobits is a rather cutesy anime where the majority of computers are anthropomorphic. Laptops are largely replaced by small robots that resemble dolls, miniature people, or cartoon characters. Desktop computers are replaced by robots resembling full-sized people. The advantage being, they're self-portable and have enough AI to keep you company, do chores, help with assignments, etc. It's somewhat perverted (if you haven't figured out where Chii's power switch is after watching the video, you're completely oblivious), but mostly retains an innocent, cutesy air. I lost interest in it about halfway through, but apparently it does raise a few concerns about what happens when semi-self-aware AI becomes so common that people use them to replace normal human relationships (you think you spend a lot of time with your computer now? Try having your computer modeled to look like your idea of the perfect woman, intelligent enough to have a conversation with you, you can take her everywhere, and she unquestioningly does whatever you ask.). In the series, this becomes a major issue as more and more people become anti-social and lose their ability to interact with people because they prefer to spend all their time with their "perfect" computers. Chii, the main AI (persocom, in the series; short for personal computer) has her power switch installed in her pie. A power switch that reformats her when it gets pushed, meanwhile she effectively "dies" and you have to start all over again in regards to her memory and personality. Hideki, her owner, is a pervert, a virgin, and a hopeless nerd all in one. Basically, over the series, he becomes attached to Chii and their relationship grows over time. Eventually, he actually falls in love with her as a "person" and not as an object, which was the entire point of making it impossible to sex her up. No commentary is made as to how Hideki is now part of the problem (people preferring to spend time with robots instead of real people) since his odds of ever touching a real girl were essentially zero anyway. |

Probably taste like LIQUID WRENCH®. |

You'd get a little shock like when you put your tongue on a 9-volt battery. |

Best line Flight of the Concord's The Humans Are Dead: "Come on sucker, lick my battery!" |

The word "consequence" means "result", not cause. The dolls are a result of the people not having children, as they feel the lack of children and try to compensate. The dolls are not said to be what makes it happen, but what results from it. |

That's a fact. Hmmmm, put up with constant complaints and nagging or have a robot that looks,feels, smells...real do your every bidding? Yeah, that's a tough call. |

+1000000 Bet she'd have dinner ready every night on time and would never complain once how much I spent on ammo or firearms. |

Honda robot conducts Detroit Symphony to warm response
By DEE-ANN DURBIN, AP Auto Writer Wed May 14, 7:51 AM ET DETROIT - The lights dimmed, the sold-out hall grew hushed and out walked the conductor — shiny, white and 4 feet, 3 inches tall. ASIMO, a robot designed by Honda Motor Co., met its latest challenge Tuesday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony in a performance of "The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha." "Hello, everyone," ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked the actions of a conductor, nodding its head at various sections and gesturing with one or both hands. ASIMO took a final bow to enthusiastic shouts from the audience. "It is absolutely thrilling to perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. This is a magnificent concert hall," ASIMO said. Later, cellist Yo-Yo Ma joined ASIMO onstage to receive an award for his efforts in music education. Ma bent to ASIMO's height and shook the robot's hand. Ma performed later on the program but didn't take questions from the media about ASIMO. Honda spokeswoman Alicia Jones said it was the first time ASIMO has conducted an orchestra, and it may be the first time any robot has conducted a live performance. ASIMO stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. ASIMO has its limits. ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony's education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can't respond to the musicians. During the first rehearsal, the orchestra lost its place when ASIMO began to slow the tempo, something a human conductor would have sensed and corrected, said bassist Larry Hutchinson. "It's not a communicative device. It simply is programmed to do a sense of gestures," said Leonard Slatkin, the orchestra's musical director. "If the orchestra decides to go faster, there's nothing the robot can do about it. Hopefully, I keep that under control." But several musicians also said ASIMO was more realistic than they expected. "The movements are still a little stiff, but very humanlike, much more fluid than I thought," Hutchinson said. Honda has been developing walking robots since 1986. The latest version of ASIMO debuted last year. Honda eventually intends its robots to be companions for the elderly and others in need, such as schoolchildren navigating crosswalks. ASIMO can run, walk on uneven slopes and respond to simple voice commands. It can also recognize faces with its camera eyes. Honda brought the robot to Detroit to highlight its recent $1 million gift to the orchestra for a music education fund. |
