Wow thats cool! But since I watched too much android movies I think one android is going to go crazy and want to destroy the world.

"Repliee Q1 can interact with people. It can respond to people touching it. It's very satisfying, although we obviously have a long way to go yet."

haha Im sure it is....very....satisfying

Japan in general is really interested in robotics. Places like Sony have already stated at different times that they're interested in pushing things in that direction in the future. That's part of the reason they're so busy working on the AIBO (http://www.sony.net/Products/aibo/) and the QRIO (http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/QRIO/). It's only a matter of time before they start pushing into more human-like robots like this.

Of course, we all know what industry is really interested in this.

But seriously, what?

oooooo a playstation android =P where do we put the CDs:unibrow:

07-27-2005, 01:18 PM

Playboy?

(playing off of my hippocracy, sorry)
But seriously, what?

Heh, close, but I was referring to the sex industries. I wonder if it will actually be legal to have brothels if they have androids instead of real people. It's been said that the two industries that are usually pushing the technology barriers are always the porn industry and the military.

And don't be too worried about my comment from the other thread. I still like you, Makkon. :p

Makkon

07-27-2005, 01:24 PM

Well, you were right about my contridicting comments. So no worries.

But anyways, ew. I wasn't serious about playboy, buy man... are there people out there who are THAT lonley? Imagine the guy who has to design the ****able android... Hope he's not married, unless it's a woman who designs it...

Hehe. The [bleep] android, eh?

Heh. I can just imagine how much they would ****ing cost.

Starting around a couple thousand bucks.

Probably around $999.95.

Eh, its way cheaper to buy a hooker.

Thus, that ****able robot would only be baught by.....those ugly rich stars...like Gary Coleman.

[edit] Never mind. Gary Coleman is far from rich.

If Japan wanted to they could create a George W. Bush look-alike android and replace it with the real U.S. president. The only difference is that the android would show signs of intelligence.

It would be awesome if Japan can mass produce these robots and put them out in public to see if anyone notices.

Last page is full of one liners :/.

I wonder how they'll ever properly simulate human movements without muscle like fibers ala I,Robot movie. I bet that thing curretly moves like one of the drunken pirates of the carribean (http://www.dlrphistory.nl/Disneyland%20Park/Disneyland%20Park%20Pics/Pirates%20of%20the%20Carribean%201.jpg) ride.
They probably COULD do that but the biggest obstacle today is power, I believe the main reason why they cant get prostetic limbs to move naturally is because they are so limited in terms of power since the more parts you include the more power it uses. Everyone in the robotics world is waiting on that "nuclear battery"

wasnt there a tech fiber in develpomnet to run under fluid kinemtaics a while ago, the synth fiber was to supposed to partially run under bloodpressure as wierd at it would sound.

Anyone else heard of it?

New reality show. I'm a millionaire that's looking for a girl to marry, but what they don't know, is that I'm actually an android with no money.

I wouldn't hit it so much as I'd talk to it for long stints about emotions and what she did that day, then I'd snuggle with it and tell it how pretty it looks. Then I'd go out shopping for clothes.

there's nothing like some good ol' sarcasm...

...and I wouldn't mind some of them nuclear batteries. I hate it when my phone dies or I'm listening to cool song and it cuts out. But I wonder what would happen if you threw them on a fire O.O
...pretty ^^

You know what? That's not a bad idea! If they'd make some android with a big nuclear storage in the belly that would suddenly start running like mad shouting: KAMEKAZE!!!!!! and the self-detonate. That would be soooooooooo cool:D. Probably will be used by terrorists though. And that would mean every public building will have metal detectors. Aah, that takes away all the fun from secretly being a robot. :(

Keckhs

07-29-2005, 10:27 AM

Wow, the Nohonjin think of everything. That thing about how androids could fool us into thinking they're human sounds more like a movie premeire on Sci Fi to me, though...

Still, that'd be pretty cool. :D Imagine your best freind at eight suddenly admitting to being a robot.

Kathy: I have something to tell you... I'm an android.
Kelly: ...

What's next? Floating cars? Buildings in the sky? Colonies on the moon? Oh, I know! A big space war! lol

Flying car woudn't work because they'll like, start falling on people. I know it'll happen.

Hey, dfacto, was that picture on page 2 you posted of the android girl from the movie Blade Runner?

Xion Valkyrie

07-29-2005, 11:06 AM

Wasn't there a huge showcase of flying cars at last year's San Francisco Tech convention?

I remember there was a huge discussion about it, how NASA is thinking making everyone have a flying car in 20 years or something.

dfacto

07-29-2005, 11:29 AM

Hiltz: yes

Xion: No way in hell. People drive badly enough in just 2 dimensions.

07-29-2005, 11:30 AM

Dfacto: That was also discussed in that thread, but the technology for flying cars is already available.

about the flying cars. I really hope that they don't happen. The accidents will be way worse, and a car is gonna fall on my friggen head.

it'll be like imposter, which was a good movie even if it was a little predictable.

you're not (random celebrity) you're a bomb designed to destroy the president and must be terminated before it's too late.
