New FT "FemaleType" femme bot brings the sexy

Alright, we've seen plenty of these man and boy-man styled humanoids, when are the ladies going to get their proper send up as an anime-styled future bot? That's a good question, and Takahashi-san -- creator of the wonderful Chroino and Manoi bots -- has an answer with his new femme bot, the FT "FemaleType." Of course, being sexy isn't all about how you look standing still, so FT has the strut of a fashion model with the twist of her hips and feminine posture. We'll keep an eye out for video of this strut in action, but we do know that FT is built out of carbon fiber, stands 14-inches tall, weighs a mere 1.8 pounds, and should be in production in a bit more than a year. Rumors of romantic interest between Manoi and FemaleType could not be confirmed at this time, but apparently Chroino and FT have a "history."

That's hot. Except for the fact that it's a plastic doll.

Yeah, hot.

when they make droid bodies like The Major in Ghost in the Shell, THAT will be news!

[lucas @ Apr 8th 2006 1:08PM]

id hit that

[Darksquirrel @ Apr 8th 2006 1:10PM]

aestheticly speaking the design is very nice. What does it do though, is like an i-dog that listens to music or something, or does it just walk around?

[Jeffrey M Foster @ Apr 8th 2006 1:21PM]

I'd buy it. Even if it just walked around. :)

[Ashley @ Apr 8th 2006 1:24PM]

sexy...but i hope they don't add "hormones" to it. scary thought

[Darksquirrel @ Apr 8th 2006 1:43PM]

not a bad point, if it wasn't too expensive i wouldn't mind getting it, i mean i would get an action figure that looked like that just to have in my room, it being a robot is a plus.

Looks like FREEZER from Dragon Ball Z

[Whiplash @ Apr 8th 2006 2:37PM]

When did women with big ol' feet become sexy?

[Pal @ Apr 8th 2006 2:46PM]

For those wondering, the poster reads: "The World's Most Beautiful Robot..."

And, uh, it's Freeza (or sometimes Frieza), not Freezer. Freezer is an appliance.

[mb @ Apr 8th 2006 3:28PM]

does this remind anyone else of Lang's "Metropolis"?

[lolersticks @ Apr 8th 2006 3:31PM]

Meh. First thing I thought of was "Bubblegum Crisis", second thing was "Metropolis".

[Bazza @ Apr 8th 2006 3:54PM]

RAWR!!! ^_^

[Joe @ Apr 8th 2006 4:00PM]

just if anyone is wondering, the pic says: World ... beautiful robot

[fraggo @ Apr 8th 2006 4:12PM]

Actually: World's most beautiful robot.

[saki @ Apr 8th 2006 4:15PM]

She ruv you rong time!

Just add battery!

[lolersticks @ Apr 8th 2006 4:16PM]

#13. "World" is bein used as a posessive. Therefore: World's [most] beautiful robot.

Have you thought of possible applications for this robot such as housework?

[keler @ Apr 8th 2006 5:29PM]

I would rather be Ruvved Rong time.

[boss sauce @ Apr 8th 2006 6:06PM]

sort of sexy but... where's the, um, interface port?

[x @ Apr 8th 2006 6:11PM]

blow it up for housework + extra

[x @ Apr 8th 2006 6:13PM]

if you get what i mean...

[x @ Apr 8th 2006 6:25PM]

whooaaa! I almost blew my load once I found out she can be bought!

[Finished.Law.School @ Apr 8th 2006 7:03PM]

Her head is too big and her chest is not big enough.

[tempusmaster @ Apr 8th 2006 7:31PM]

We managed to locate an online video clip of the FT robots first trip down the fashion runway - http://www.robots-dreams.com/2006/04/robo_garage_fem.html

[x @ Apr 8th 2006 7:41PM]

LOL you know what I thought you said? "...the FT robots first STRIP down..."

[x @ Apr 8th 2006 7:43PM]

Has this news ever reminded anyone of the episode of Futurama that explained how Earth was attacked in the first place?

[OH MY GAWD. @ Apr 8th 2006 8:58PM]

If you've ever seen Chobits...eh, we're gettin there.

[Resident Gamer @ Apr 9th 2006 10:26AM]

What's up with all these robots. Didn't we learn anything from the Matrix

[ladyc22 @ Apr 9th 2006 1:22PM]

Something different. But why what purpose does it have.

[aircontrails @ Apr 9th 2006 3:25PM]

Is it useful?

[Pikachelsea @ Apr 9th 2006 3:45PM]

#32 - Just something for nerds to waste their money on, I guess. Oh, and this is probably paving the way for the inevitable "Sexbot 2000".

[Perrey Z. @ Apr 10th 2006 5:44AM]

...Front the ashes of the discontinued Qrio here comes Q-GIRL!


#9: you're right.

#11: She can also BE a freezer...

[cmoore @ Sep 16th 2007 11:41PM]

Can't seem to call her from Qrio but very similar, if you notice in the intro video it appears that left hand is not visible or just flat from getting up. Also in both videos you don't see her moving any fingers or grabbing anything. They have improved tremendously in moving aesthetics for the body type and speed of recovering form a fall but lack some features that made Qrio a top contender for entertainment robot at home.

[Julie Chadwick @ Apr 10th 2006 11:54AM]

How is this thing even remotely considered sexy?

[Thomas Averin @ Apr 12th 2006 10:08PM]

its the natural feminine curves.

[SG @ Apr 21st 2006 5:24PM]

My god, I only heard of this recently and its already been turned into porn by mecha-infusiasts...
