It's a little eerie that we're this close to having this type of robotics working. On the bright side, it now means people will be bigoted against androids instead of gays :p
Teh Cylons R coming!!!111

Pretty Awesome.
plz no timewarp
-
have they built a robot I can have sex with yet?
the Japaneese have been promiseing that one for years, and yet I have not seen any real progress on my android sex slave.
-
they should be coming out 20yrs from now.
-
They still have to combine what it looks like they already have in various other robots (The ball slappers and portrait painters) to make a full on humanesque robot, but it doesn't look like the technology's that far off... pretty cool all told.
-
I wonder why we need our robots to look like humans, anyway.

Because of this
Early in the 21st Century, THE TYRELL
CORPORATION advanced Robot evolution
into the NEXUS phase — a being virtually
identical to a human — known as a Replicant.
The NEXUS 6 Replicants were superior
in strength and agility, and at least equal
in intelligence, to the genetic engineers
who created them.
Replicants were used Off-world as
slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and
colonization of other planets.
After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6
combat team in an Off-world colony,
Replicants were declared illegal
on earth — under penalty of death.
Special police squads — BLADE RUNNER
UNITS — had orders to shoot to kill, upon
detection, any trespassing Replicant.
This was not called execution.
It was called retirement.

It won´t be long untill we start getting our very own Cherry 2000 sex slaves. I would buy one my self, if they were good. At least these don´t nag you about taking out the trash, putting the toillete seat down, and give you a hard time every time you go out to the pub for a drink with the boys. And they never get headaches either!

But they might, you know, break your arms or rip off your something because of the complicated struggles in bed. And they must weight an hefty ton so you can forget about a few fun things ~~
Seriously, tho, it's very cool, I just wouldn't want one at home, coz, as the Hiroshi man said, it would be kindda creepy. Gimme a Tachikoma instead!
-
I'm with ya! Tachikoma all the way! :yes:
Cool achievement though. I'm eager to see what they can come up next :nod:

Robot with tentacles.

Because we have a born desire to create something similar to us.

Maybe for you but I don't want a ball slapping android. Sounds painful :p

Humaniform robots are simple to explain, we have thousands of years of human design and invention, it is far easier to design a robot to fit in that envrioment than to reengineer the envrioment for the robot.

*Shrugs* ...It's all good...

Better yet, I wonder how long until we get "Terminators". Living tissue over a metal endoskeletan.
-
That's a cyborg. ;) They're actually around now in certain forms - the latest replacement limbs are controlled by brainwaves, and there are basic bionic eyes in existence. Artificial organs are not far off, and from there it'll be possible to replace large parts of the body with mechanical systems. I suspect skeletal augmentation/replacement and the like isn't more than a century off...
