I didn’t find it all that attractive. The walk isn’t quite right yet.
“It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”
Oh those zany Japanese!
Seriously though, they’re going to make these available to the public? How long do you think it would take a very desperate Japanese (or nationality) man to jury-rig (sp?) a vagina into that thing?
Or do they mean it’s going to “open sourced” that will allow people to write code and programs for it so the makers can show off new things once in a while or what?
EDIT:
You’re not desperate enough then.
Bolding mine of course.
Now THERE’S an embarrassing death waiting to happen. “Man found electrocuted atop fembot due to faulty vagina installation”
Soon the Japanese teen girl will be obsolete. Have they invented the tentacle robot yet?
Why do robots always walk like they’re constipated?
Ditto. It walks like the human characters in World of Warcraft, its knees permanently bent.
It will be interesting if designers would want a robot model. In a sense its ideal since they can build clothes for a specific shape, which is handy. The proportions on the robots don’t even need to be realistic, either.
Of course, there’s also a loss of humanity, so artistic types might not like that. (Then again, artistic types don’t always like to share the light.) But certainly someone will try the robot as a catwalk model, if only for the headlines.
It’s funny because it’s true and not that hard for me to imagine actually happening. You guys just wait and see.
Dude, the Japanese teenage girl is not going to become obsolete any time soon. Not in the Western world at least. They may never ever get with Japanese men in the future, but there is a whole subculture of Western males that will happily take in any Japanese teen girls not feeling loved.
It won’t be for the headlines. Any clothes these things actually model will be aimed at the guys that self-install a vagina into these robots. To give them a humanly look and all.
I wonder how long the batteries last.
Because its centre of gravity isn’t in quite the right place for it to balance without an askew arrangement of limbs.
I’m too sexy for this exoskeleton.
But for $200,000, it might be cheaper than a real supermodel.
I suspect that most catwalk models are living pretty check-to-check. It’s like actors, everyone wants to be one, so none of them get paid anything until they’re in the top 99.99th percentile of the profession. (Then they can actually make quite a lot, of course.)
Congratulations to the Japanese - they have succeeded in coming up with a robot that is even creepier and less attractive than a real supermodel.

That’s not very nice. There’s no need to say such hurtful things just because she is a robot.
This could deal a large blow against the child sex industry.

Nice boobs though.
Well, has the robot ever taken a dump? :dubious:
That would explain the circuit boards I found in the toilet this morning.
Will this make the the girl’s used underwear vending machines obsolete. I wonder if these undies have a not fresh if used by date.
I have to say if they think those robots are good enough to sell fashion clothes they need to get out of the office a bit more.
