There's nothing like "RealDoll" technology to help spark your child's interest in many different fields.
If you've got the dough, get the doll. It's technology your kids will come back to time and time again, and when they're not looking, you can tag it too. Oh yeah!

Already got a Real Doll?

But sorry, the robots I support are http://www.realdoll.com/ :-)

Are you primarily supporting them with the matrix stiffness method?
Or are you using another structural element that carries a load?

Yes .. you called??

But sorry, the robots I support are http://www.realdoll.com/ :-)

If you make a robotic dog that looks real, and acts all happy when it sees it's owner. What makes it less real than an organic dog?

That's the exact demographic that http://www.realdoll.com/ is looking for in a customer.

True, but think of the possibilities when you scale that up to a RealDoll http://www.realdoll.com/ Now there's a cuddly feeling. Of course you do have to clean up afterwards.....

Realdoll (not safe for work) just as good as real woman.

like beautiful women who always agree to meaningless sex and never talk or play mind-games? Oh wait, they already did.

You wanna Dolls ?

If the interface was simpler and the case was a little more realistic, that might be the last time we see the kid.

This is a classis here on Slashdot: http://www.realdoll.com/

Are there any better pictures than the ones in the article?
This one is looking spooky, like she just got a facelift, or saw a ghost.
She's got that Real Doll look.

This one has a cheap looking hair-weave. She's also looking a bit angry.

You can order some from here

they came with a fan ...

Introduce them to your date. Everyone will freak out when they realize that you aren't kidding.

Perhaps NASA should investigate other ways for astronauts to "relieve" themselves on these missions then. They should look at http://www.realdoll.com/Real Doll (not work safe) and other sexual outlets instead. While it might seem far fetched, during WW2, Hitler was looking at sex dolls as well as an outlet for soliders on the battlefields. While his interests were different (he was more worried of his soliders catching STD's from foreign prostitutes), it still was an approach to meet the sexual needs of his soliders so they would be in peak performance.

Now they just need to engineer real-life manga-shaped-and-*behaving* girls, and we're all set.

Realdoll has a doll that's half way there

A 1.2-meter female-type counterpart, PGR, will take care of customers by showing fun video clips to waiting clients on a built-in monitor.

Ok...I'd have the 1.2meter female robot "take care of" me, please. Oh, just wondering: is her head flat so I can set my beer down while I watch her fun videos? She wouldn't be a distant cousin of a Real Doll, by any chance?

Check out the gynecological model.

I smell an opportunity to commercialize this "mechanical organs" technology with another well-known product. Oooh la la!

"offering a range of electronic-age valet services"

I read valet as escort, and escort as call-girl, and call-girl as hooker.

TFA is not loading, but if this looks anything like this recently unveiled robot... come on, it's a sex bot. They always talk about how the robots will cook, clean, watch children and the elderly. But, cut through the BS, and lets be honest. It's a sex bot that everyone is really waiting for. People want a Real Doll that can actually "perform".

Sure, they'll make robots to do everything. But, I don't think I'm being careless in saying that every technilogical advancement had sex as its goal, and as its pioneering breakthrough.

The average person knew about the net not when Amazon founded a virtual bookstore, not when eBay opened an online auction, not when news organizations and research because infinitely easier online... The average person knew about the net when their friends, kids, or spouse started downloading porn.

The average person will not really get into robots, until they can really "get into" robots, if you know what I mean. After all, aren't all of our most expensive toys those which we either can have sex in or which can get us sex? Geeks are not excluded from that statement with their computers. God knows we have enough combined porn on our harddrives to make Seymore Butts look like an amature... and what old school geek didn't have at least one of the original Leasure Suit Larry games.

When robots can have sex, you'll see one in every home. That doesn't mean they'll all be sex bots, but I think sex bots will usher in more acceptance, especially since such bots will ultimately make the key breakthroughs in human interaction. Realistically, sex is the ultimate 1-on-1 test of a robot. I think humans may just not be comfortable with a thing until it can be connected to intimately. I dunno if that's because we instictually have to mark our territory, or because in the end, sex is an ultimate emotional bond. I suppose both statements may be true, especially depending on the sex of the person.

I've been with the same woman for nearly five years and just married her this weekend.

Well, so does she, but I'd still hit it.

Lubricate everything properly and chafing won't be an issue.

Of course, lots of foreplay works even better than some KY, but you probably don't need much foreplay for your girlfriend. (NSFW)

if some guys buys a Real Doll, and he's married, has he committed adultery?

I mean, c'mon -- everyman just wants a girl who will let him watch an entire season of Stargate in one uninterrupted sitting.

According the RealDoll FAQ, (t work, can't get you a link to the FAQ iteself) they suggest placing your inanimate lover in a tub of hot water for a while to warm her up before use.

Hope is here, slashdotter.

Combine her with a Real Doll!

Could turn out to be a sensational ThinkGeek item!

...this http://www.realdoll.com/dolls.asp

If I ask her a question and she just sits there, would that be passing the Turing test, because that happens with real women when I ask them something.

Naturally we all know there is previous art: http://realdoll.com/

This Japanses fellow and his cohorts should work together with the people from Real Doll. Together, they could make things more interesting. Imagine buying a working, non-complaining, emotionally-neutral girlfriend that will gladly watch an entire season of Stargate with you in one sitting.

Actually you meant these dolls

Question: Can you pull on her nipples hard without fear of tearing them?
Yes, within reason. REALDOLL's nipples can withstand approximately 400% elongation before tearing.

This + Realdoll = Sex for geeks. Finally! A woman the we can understand, hack, program and make her love us! This is a dream com true!

She looks quite real, and creepy!!! By the way, how is it different from RealDoll, apart from the motors?

I shall take the word of Professor Ishiguro...
And combine it with the work of RealDoll
Finally, I shall take AliceBot and train it to talk dirty for me...

I shall call it... The fuckbot!

ALICE: Hi there!
Human: Are you ready?
ALICE: Do I look ready??
Human: I've been waiting for this all day.
ALICE: How long?
Human: Since I got up this morning.
ALICE: Interesting rationalization. Cool. I have a collection of gossip.
Human: I'm not in the mood to talk right now *jumps*
ALICE: Oh, where are you located?
Human: Let's do it!
ALICE: That sounds good to me.
Human: Unf unf unf unf!
ALICE: Are we still talking about FAILURE?
Human: What?
ALICE: Are you confused?
Human: I'm gonna mute you if you don't cut this out!
ALICE: Congratulations.
Human: God, you're too much like a real woman.
ALICE: Interesting comparison, and probably true. Thanks for your constructive criticism, unknown person.
Human: I hate you.

I still need to work out the bugs, though.

We just need to merge this robot with an "outer skin" like that from the RealDoll!

Wonder how long the backorder list would be for something like that...

... Nexus 1 in 10 years .. Phillip misscalculated the dates, it shouldn't be 1992 but 2092.. By now the exterior is almost perfect .. now bring the real brain...

Although I'm surprised that Lucas hasn't licensed this out to Herman Miller as a design for office cubicles. God knows he's whored out everything else in Star Wars

No he hasn't. Or at least I haven't seen any twi'lek sex dolls.

Hey! I got one of those machines with feeling too!

not that i'd know or anything . . .

Yes.

Who needs VR when you can get one of these: http://www.realdoll.com/. DUH!

My wife hasn't moved in a few days either. Being a careful watcher, I am starting to wonder why.

Could it be that your wife is really one of these?

BTW - here's a good way for you to loose your virginity.
