A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
scary looking piece of machine...
I actually felt sorry for her when he hit her and she said "Why did you do that for?"
Great, he's invented a handi-capable sex doll that guilt trips you, slaps you when you come onto it and then tells you to go to the bathroom.
Effin' Canadians.
yeah..he made a real bitch...i have one of those already..i think we call them girlfriend(s)....
User: Aiko lets do it again
Aiko: Am tired..its your 18th time tonight
User: you F**kin bitch!
i will reset your metallic ass if you dont cooperate..lol!
Is it just me, or does the robot crash at the beginning? You hear the windows chime and then the robot freezes while saying: "I am the first Canadian android to make a public appear." Then the camera cuts. Whole new meaning to the Blue Screen of Death.
I smell a Pulitzer!
"I can feel that"...O_O?!
One small step for dolls...A BIG JUMP in the porn industry!
She's pretty hot for an android.
the funniest part of the vid: " i did not like it when you touched my breeeeest"
... and also the saddest. there's a pretty weird model of "human behavior" programmed into both the man and his machine. and dude, think it through next time: what company is going to hire someone who submits unsolicited videos of himself molesting women, robotic or otherwise?
Aiko: I'm starting to feel it...
LeTrung and the Realdoll...
"I do not like it when you touch my breast," she said after she slapped the dude. I'm sure this feature won't make it in the Final version of this thing. It's Japanese, remember?
Don't think it's Japanese. More like Canadian, and the creator could be Korean.
That name is not Korean....sounds Vietnamese.
'Aiko' is a japanese name (though 'Trung' isn't, i know)
and yeah, if i were going to go to all the trouble of building my own japanese fembot, she wouldn't object to me touching her breasts (well, maybe just the first few times, hee hee).
hahahahahahahahaha...... ROTFL !!! I couldn't believe this guy touched its boobs.... where do i sign up to buy? I know a friend who could do with a good slap everytime he did that to some bird....
For less $$, you could get a prostitute. Just don't forget your protection.
He says "poops" instead of "proves".
Uncanny Valley FTW!
f**k, is this really sexually functional? if so i would buy one!
Because obviously you can't get a real girl.
which is better? a beautiful doll or a butt ugly real girl?
it's quite scary and amazing to see technology move at such a pace. I'm starting to believe we might have a more advanced andriod by 2030 coexisting with humans.
But like all new technology humans will find a way to use it for porn or the military. Which is a shame, i could see such beings used to help out the elderly or even for space exploration, sending such an andriod to mars? no need to worry about human complications.
I guessMasamune Shirow was miles ahead when he created ghost in the shell, it doesn't seem like a fictional fantasy, more like a future reality that could happen.
Femme-bots come to mind when you mentioned the use in porn and military...
Ummm, speaking as someone skilled in the art (or at least semi skilled), that "android" has all the technological prowess of a fancy light switch, mixed with some very primitive Voice rec.
Imagine if there were a bank of switches in a cockpit, and pressing them would cause a pre recorded announcment to play, and servo to move, say "Rudder left 2", and the rudder to move left. It would be neat but not that impresive. Well that is pretty much what is going on here.
A series of switches touch sensitive switches (one at least multi state) causes blind actions to be replayed. When the creepy guy touched the breast, it wasn't an aimed punch, just a blind sequence of motor commands followed by a canned phrase (that is almost guaranteed to be always the same, or at best minimally varying). A true android would integrate sensor data and make an attempt at hitting something, at the very least.
Don't be fulled by the "robotic" voice, there is very little cleverness here.
Yeah. A robot in space that can Wear Clothes is way more useful than the robots NASA already has in space.
At night-time he uses the "I-DO-like-it-when-you-touch-my-breasts-program" floppy disk. Oh, and guess where that inserts.
This guy's been having sex with robots since he was 4 years old? Who is he? Robo-Jeremy???
I thought that was actually pretty creepy when he is bothering her. It surprised me how much I actually was thinking of her as a disabled "person".
Wow, he hit a cripple android. He must be feeling great! :D Anyway, this is great progress, soon we'll all going to be able to kick androids in wheelchares...
Wow that video just made my day. Nothing more classic than a robot slapping you for grabbing its boob.
That performance isn't going to bode well for him when those bots take over.
I, for one, welcome our wheelchair-bound, face-slapping female android overlords.
This is an outrage! That man should be put in jail for that type of behaviour towards that robo-woman!!!! What is this world coming to when we have no more morals for the androids? As a member of NAAA (National Association for Advancement of Androids) I find this video and article very disturbing and sick!
President of NAAAA June 18, 2055.
Calm down, this man is obviously an Android himself. He just needed a friend who will save him from the loneliness in the world of humans...
Hurry up, dammit, hurry up!
"It's my sex box, and her name's Sony!"
Fucking great family guy episode!
LOL
waiting for the Sex Station Portable...
What's the point in having a Hot Female Android if you can't touch her breast? :D
I thought the windows Behind that guy look Familiar it really is The Ontario Science Center.
I'll have to go and take a look if it's still there.
What the hell are you talking about? Porn DOES help the elderly.
Sad, isn't it? Old geezers need love too! :-)
The name "Aiko" is a combination of "Ai" meaning love, and "Ko" meaning child; as in "I would like to make love to a child, but that's illegal, so I bought this robot."
I think the name "Aiko" is meant to be "Aibo - but a girl!"
It's actually pretty clever, if it is what he meant.
"Basically this is my hobby"?!?
Wow... That took balls. I wouldn't admit that I like to public ally grab and fondle a robot... I don't really care that is what gets his hard drive up and running... But daaaamn.
"I don't like it when you touch my breasts" is pretty much standard for all Japanese women. (I keed, I keed... Japanese women are hot-to-trot.)
Engadget has just proven that you guys are insensitive, judgmental, and without value. (In other words, about the same level of intelligence shown by a 7th grader.) He built it from his basement for cryin' out loud. It helps his grandmother who can't read anymore. What have you done to this world a better place except to make and encourage wisecracks about a non-native's ability to speak English? (Rhetorical question.)
Hey jackass, read the headline of the article.
Hehe . . . if that's true, then his grandmother has a bad case of the grabbies, and he just programmed a robot to bitch-slap her. Latent aggression much?
