Video: The first (televised) kiss between robots

Theatrical bots "Thomas" and "Janet" -- who look complex enough to do non-theatrical work too -- have been smacking lips since a December 2008 production of Phantom of the Opera in Taiwan, but only now has video evidence of their deviant activities surfaced on the interwebs. Causing equal measures of dread, horror and subconscious freaky thoughts, it's a tour de force of science going down a very dark (and probably moist) path. Technically, it's a fine exhibition of complex multidimensional coordination and intrinsic self-balancing mechanisms, an excuse you're at liberty to use if someone catches you watching the videos after the break.

[KRISC123 Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:34PM]

[monkey with glasses Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:46PM]

Wonder what kind of viruses could they carry and what do they use as protection beside pulse riffles.

[DRHouse Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:48PM]

Robophiles incoming 2015~

[Freakin Ijit Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:54PM]

Hmmm...let's see...those robots have to be MUCH less than 18 years old each, right?

> Robophiles incoming 2015~

The Gummamint will step in and protect us!

[SomePerson Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:12PM]

I'm Robophobic. I voted Yes on the Proposition for Robots of the same Hardrive to marry. Oh and I'm also against Robots/Human breeding.

[THizzle7XU Posted Aug 24th 2009 10:22PM]

Someone needs a real girlfriend fast. Of course, having this on their resume will make that tough. Catch-22 isn't strong enough a phrase...

[heffeque Posted Aug 24th 2009 11:08PM]

Bjok - All is full of love.

Not only two robots kiss... it's two lesbian robots! =P

Heh, "Two Girlbots, One Oilcan" ?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:23PM]

Wake me up when these two are copulating.

[Steveorevo Posted Aug 25th 2009 8:02AM]

I believe Bjork already did this, however they were more industrial / iRobot looking. At anyrate -its already been done.

[ethanwc Posted Aug 26th 2009 1:00AM]

Technically, No. The heads were superimposed. The bodie were constructed, but Bjork's face was filmed kissing herself.

Cunningham dvd, I believe.

[Triscuit Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:23PM]

Aw, come on! There wasn't even any actuator action!

[CBXweb Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:23PM]

We're done. It's over. :(

[Mmmm Donuts Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:51PM]

Unless they habe throvaries, I think we're safe... for now.

[jon Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:03PM]

So, do you play catch with throvaries?

[SomePerson Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:07PM]

I totally agree. If we continue making robots more and more advanced, pretty soon we'll have Androids which the Government will most likely use for wars and threaten other countries with it. Then those robots will steal all of our jobs since all they need is a recharge which will worsen the economy. After that, the robots will feel abused for working for their obsolete human overlords and establish their own country called Zer0-0ne. And then there will be wars and wars until all the people are either dead, or brainwashed into thinking we're living in 1999 and some guy name Neo will help save us all!!!

But really, that is all possible. Don't doubt it until it happens.

[mrln Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:30PM]

No, they're just creating the TechnoCore and basically saying "screw you, humans, we've got better things to do."
Then they'll put authors out of business.

[Mmmm Donuts Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:50PM]

Throvaries = Throat Ovaries.

Meh.

[Eman Posted Aug 24th 2009 11:01PM]

I'm surprised no one mentioned anything about Skynet.....
So now we have, artificial deceit, dexterity, and now "romance", seems to me the human race might be replaced on all aspects!!! :D

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:23PM]

WTF? :D

[Gavin M Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:23PM]

I have no comment

[monkey with glasses Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:47PM]

I have no reply.



...oh wait.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:24PM]

I came!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:26PM]

looks kinda like the chick from Heavy Rain

[epicsurge Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:26PM]

even robots get more poon than me.

[monkey with glasses Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:41PM]

Yo. Almost got fired. Lol.

+1. Epic win.

[bonaqo Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:53PM]

There is no poon

[One Love Posted Aug 24th 2009 11:43PM]

I will still try to bend the poon.

[gadgeek Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:27PM]

TMZ exclusive!

LEAKED!!!

Thomas and Janet Sex Tape

[archpope Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:27PM]

Well as long as it's robot-on-robot. Humans dating robots is sick! You people wonder why Bender's still single? It's 'cause all the fine robot sisters are dating humans!

[Poop Chef Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:11PM]

the cat is cute

[MarnBeast Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:12PM]

Hahaha, so I'm watching comedy central and literally as I was reading that statement a commercial for futurama came on and bender said "Keep your hands off my junk you pervert!"

I died laughing, thank you for that.

[mrln Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:31PM]

Chobits.

If they're hot enough it works, apparently.

[psychcf Posted Sep 5th 2009 10:27PM]

If I'm correct, わかんない means "no sexual intercourse!" or something like that

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:28PM]

Electric gonorrhea the noisy nuisance.

[patboy2008 Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:30PM]

ROFL!!!

[groovedafied Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:32PM]

So people are having orgasms when they see a scripted robot peck each other on the lips? They're not even grabbing each others body parts and swapping a robotic fluid, like oil or something...

Lame

[TomTom2010 Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:33PM]

No thank you, I've got porn.

[SomePerson Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:01PM]

Dude, there's people who get aroused at Pokemon having sex. I wouldn't be surprised if there were sickos who got off from this.

[aznofazns Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:12PM]

....who gets aroused by Pokemon sex? Where did you even get that from? HYPOCRITEEE?

[SomePerson Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:19PM]

@aznofazns

It was a small broadcast in the news around my area of a gay man who was arrested for having child pornography of both real life and cartoon variety. They also said he possesed animal pornography along with Pokemons.

[newreformation Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:33PM]

Such delicate hands they have...

[artissco Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:34PM]

No tongue?

[snowglyder Posted Aug 25th 2009 3:51PM]

That's what I was thinking...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:36PM]

[brexb Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:35PM]

Quick! Add some articles to push this off my page!!!

[paul34 Posted Aug 24th 2009 8:36PM]

Next: two girls, one USB stick?

[aznofazns Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:12PM]
