> [@Harmonious\_Discord](#): > > 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. I disagree: A robot would have to have some super-kickass medical training to know which position to carry a human. Do you really want the FemBot to sling you over it’s shoulder, and carry you while it’s upright? You’d be up in the smoke of the fire, and be dead of inhalation before you made it out of the house. What if the CyberDyne Systems Model 101 tries to lift you off the ground after you’ve had a spinal injury? ::C4 snap:: I mentioned before their slow speed–can you even imagine the pedestrian traffic headaches with just a couple _hundred_ of these things floating around a major city? They just don’t move as fast as humans, and would really be more a pain in the arse. On the level, as much as I bemoan them, they’re more a novelty right now, and frankly, I can’t see any use in the next _twenty years_. Now granted, I send a “robot” downrange at work, but that’s directly controlled by me–I make the decisions, I tell the machine where to go, what to shoot, and I control it’s return. It’s not an automaton. Controlled machines _do_ have their places, 'specially in industry. I do give the Japanese kudos for fielding a plaything (hey, it demonstrates new technology and gives people new ideas!). But these . . . they’re just freaky weird. . . . and **JRDelirious** , you and I know darn well the mad scientist controlling the legions of these things wouldn’t make it so easy on us. We’d have to get in close and pick them off one by one. Tripler Hand-to-transistor combat. ---

The first thing I thought of when I saw the video was that all they need to do to sell the damn things is to straighten their knees a bit so they can walk like actual people and dress them in Playboy bunny suits or sailor dresses, and they’ll make a fortune. The specific one in the video wouldn’t look half bad in a Haruhi Suzumiya costume, I think. ---

> [@](#): > > And when they make a Realdoll Droid with interactive AI that simulates a Japanese Highschool Girl, uniform included, then the nerd/geek gene will be doomed to get bred out of the population I assume the smilies are there because this is all superfluous. You don’t _need_ expensive RealDolls to breed out the SuperGeekNerds. That makes as much sense as sterilizing mules to keep their population down. ---

Tripler you point to the reason why they will make so much money. People can’t move these super enormously fat humans around, and a robot that is good enough to do it will be of great use when removing them from the home transporting them to the large room with the reinforced bed, for them to finish dying from organ failure.
