This is why the Japanese aren’t likely to take over the world. They spend inappropriately. The least useful function for a robot is as a fashion model. Fashion is sold through saucy expressions and graceful movements. Neither of which is likely to be among the first thousand or so human traits that anthropomorphic robots acquire. ---

Hmmm… They should have put some knuckles in her fingers, cause it looks like she is perpetually ready to deliver a knife-hand karate strike. Also, she couldn’t even give me a reach-around. What good is a super model who can’t even give a hand job. On the plus side, with further devlopment they are well on their way to blow job capability. ---

Imagine a legion of these _things_ carrying your groceries home from the store for you–they’re so damn slow they’d take forever to cross the street. The automatons are so creepy, everywhere you’d turn, something would be slowly step. . . step. . .stepping to find you. And just when you turned your back, four of 'em would gang up on you and turn you into the next “Janet Leigh in the shower”. Og help you if they grab you–you can’t break free, because they’re strong, and they’re made of metal. Tripler Seriously man, they’re mass-produced freaky. ---

Once you have THAT (lifelike motion mechanics) with interactive AI (to provide a “personality”) AND a sturdy, low-maintenance RealDoll, someone will combine them. (And really, if someone can make the Realdoll reasonably animated, it’ll make a bundle. Right now one thing working against Realdolls is that many people get an uncomfortable necrophilic vibe from them.) Just don’t hook up with the one that looks like a punk Darryl Hannah 🆒 I can imagine there would be a great interest in lifelike humanoid androids for use as models, lovedroids, and undercover decoys (both for the law and for the outlaws). Just about any other function one can think of being given to droids can be achieved sooner and more economically by the robot being just a box of electronics with manipulator arms and a means of locomotion. And don’t knock **Tripler** – he \*\*has \*\*to think of these things because he may be the one calling in the airstrikes on the Machines if it comes to it. This gives him yet another threat scenario to worry about… 😉 ---

The first one of these that can carry a 800 pound human around will be a huge selling point. Every major hospital will require at least one. They can go to the house after the fire department cuts out the wall and carry the person to the hospital directly to the special patient room next to the morgue.
