Actroid: The Robot You Can (Probably) Bang
Filed under: Robotics
Do you have any idea why, in the side-race to create the most realistic humanoid robot, Japanese companies seem hell bent on making them into voluptuous, sexually attractive female machines?
Kokoro, a Sanrio division, doesn’t provide a direct answer but produces another fembot called Actroid DER2.
New Launches gushes on this fembot’s lifelike features:
The Actroid DER2 is a bit thinner and can deliver more expressions, in fact she is so lifelike that you might mistake her for an actual human being. Its limbs, torso and facial expressions are controlled by a system of actuators powered by pneumatic pressure. She can even choreograph her motions and gestures with her voice.
The Actroid remains more or less a high-tech booth prop, but maybe with some of their usual creativity, Japanese men would be able to make her do some naughty things that’ll make the 5-day rental of $3,500 well worth every cent. After all, the exciting possibilities with an Actroid are better than sodomizing a knapsack full of whimpering kittens.
Stumble it!

[...] Ron Mueck’s intriguing creations are now at the Brooklyn Art Museum waiting to drop your jaw, like this murderously creepy 80-inch man. Mueck uses silicon in his sculptures, which makes them more lifelike. He sure could be useful in making some Japanese attempts at “lifelikeness” more decent. Through his detailed works, which are always either smaller than life-size or monumental, Mueck explores the ambiguous relationship of reality to artifice. His earlier pieces were sculpted with fiberglass, but recently he has begun to work with silicone, which is more flexible and allows greater ease in shaping body parts and implanting hair. Born in Australia in 1958, Ron Mueck began his career making puppets for children’s television, including a stint with Jim Henson and Sesame Street. Since 1996, he has devoted himself full time to his art. He has had solo shows at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D. C., and the Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and his work has been included in numerous group shows. [...]

[...] I’ve had the hots for Beyonce Knowles for as far as I could remember, and this recent “unmasking” of her real identity, proving that she isn’t human at all but in fact Kokoro’s much-touted advanced version of the Actroid DER2, doesn’t even damp my filthy enthusiasm. [...]
