Uncanny Valley 2: Hello Kitty edition
We've been freaked out quite well enough by the original Acroid DER bot, but now Kokora, a Sanrio Group company (yes, that Sanrio), is busting out Acroid DER2 with skinner arms, better hair, and a snazzy little inter-Sanrio shout-out in the form of a Hello Kitty tee. The Hello Kitty fembot, as this uncanny specimen shall be henceforth named, also includes a wider repertoire of expressions, which are supposedly smoother, making it more likely that innocent bystanders will be fooled, and hardcore robot/Hello Kitty enthusiasts like us will have haunted dreams. If you're man enough to navigate the uncanny valley, you can rent the HKfb for events for a mere 400,000 Yen ($3,389 US), which gets you 5 days with the fembot, though we suppose delivery costs to the US won't be cheap, and "choreography" charges do apply as well.



















WE WANT SEX BOTS! WE WANT SEX BOTS! WE WANTS SEX BOTS!
Damn.. that thing looks so rea- Where is Sarah Connor?
In the future, women are not needed. They will be replaced by robots capable of birthing live human fetuses. I, for one, welcome our robotic female matriarch overlords.
I, for one, am getting SICK of everyone posting variations of the same Simpsons quote over and over. However, that was the least nauseating one I have read in a while.
@Craig,
Don't even bother protesting these stupid jokes, you will only get ranked lower and lower. You'd think by the umpteenth time people would be tired of this f'n joke, but no.
You might as well imagine a beowulf cluster of these fembots, or..
In Soviet Russia Fembot spanks you
etc...
Somebody tell Howard Stern so he can take one for a "test drive".............
I'd hit it. ;)

Ok, the video for this thing (http://www.kokoro-dreams.co.jp/english/robot/act/index.html)
freaked me out. The robotic revolution will begin in the japan. Those guys are inadvertently planning mankinds demise. Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
damn I didn't know it was a robot at a quick glance. I thought it was engadget reporting a hellow kitty shit as a "gadget"(since as they posted the HK fire extinguisher).
by the way who is the target audience?
Screw the shirt, give me the fembot! I wonder, is she, "fully functional." Oh God, that sounded wrong.
Don't Date Robots!

Watch out it might explode!
Is she, well you know, ah, er, "fully functional"? Purely for realizm not that I'd, well, ah, um. I got a girlfriend, no really I do, I do. But if I didn't well I might just be interested.
No, beware of the fembot. Last I heard, they were being deployed as traps for potential rapists. They are equiped with a cigar cutter downstairs.
baaahahahah tommy
well seeing women are phasing men out wuth the vibrator, why not build ourselves a robot woman? :D
checked out the video of her in action - cool.
I won't be happy until I can have realistic sex with it.
Obviously, you've never taken middle school hygiene. You've never seen the propaganda film...
...Ordinarily, Billy would work hard to make money from his paper route. Then he'd use the money to buy dinner for Mavis, thus earning the slim chance to perform the reproductive act. But in a world where teens can date robots, why should he bother? Why should anyone bother? Let's take a look at Billy's planet a year later. Where are all the football stars? And where are the biochemists? They're trapped! Trapped in a soft, vise-like grip of robot lips. All civilization was just an effort to impress the opposite sex... and sometimes the same sex. Now, let's skip forward 80 years into the future. Billy's planet was destroyed by aliens. Have you guessed the name of Billy's planet? It was Earth! Don't date robots!

Well, if 'Billy' is Middle-class it would cost him more than two months salary, just to rent this robot for 5 days. Putting aside 10% a month for the chance to "date" this robot would take poor little 'Billy' 20 months. But your right, he wouldn't need to work at all.
I prefer my women to have a bit of meat on them.
I, for one, welcome our hot Asian fembots!
Watch out it might explode!
