Where do I sign up for one??

...

Why would you sign up to get simu-raped by a sex robot?

>sexbots to replace women
>rapists will rape robots instead of women

>awful

Women want to be independant ? Ok, then men will replace them so they can live independently

Exactly my thoughts. They will become obsolete

Save your money m8.
Robots are SHIT right now, and they will stay shit for some more years.
Even though the thought amuses me that a guy actually programmed a rape scenario i can assure you that it's pretty crude - as all humanoid roboics at the moment. There are many limitations you don't see at the moment, but i can almost guarantee you that you'll be dissapointed once you sink that kind of money into such a robot. You're probably better off getting that real doll and having rape sounds played from a laptop - because i'll make a wild guess and assume that this is pretty much the "rape simulation".
/guy working in humanoid robotics

By definition, isn't sex with a robot always rape -- since the robot cannot ever consent?

What do you think the top challenges are for designing truly human-like robots?

Can your hand consent?
I guess we'll have to call the police now.

10k dollars is still cheaper than having a real woman

looks like it's simulating rape now

>Can your hand consent?
It always gives me a thumbs-up beforehand and a high five afterwards.

>beforehand
i see what you did there

Well first of all speech recognition: Robots have quiet a hard time to understand human language, not only translating the said words to words and sentences, but to understand the meaning of these words. The most sophisticated human recognition devices still only answer to a given set of commands and we're many years away from having this done in the form of a normal human conversation. Needless to say it would get notably harder once you wanted to have all the calulation on your portable robot.
Secondly power management and required strength and temperature issues. Mentioned together because they directly hang together. Humanoid legs are inefficient as fuck (actually all limbs are, the legs are just the worst of it): A motor will have to be blocked through high currents flowing through it just by standing making it gradually heat up. If you want to stop it from heating up you either go through massive trouble or let it rest every 30 minutes for 30 minutes. That being said this robot will be weak as fuck - we expect a certain minimum strength of a human in order to appear human - that would require more power, which would require a bigger battery which we currentlly can't fit into such a robot. Need losts of platinum and we might get further.

10k $ will still get you a glorified toaster with less intelligence thank a drunk child with down syndrome

I can understand the reasons for wanting to buy something like this, but the technology just isn't ready yet. Just as a general rule of a thumb: Never buy the first generation.

>new
That news is over three years old now.

I'm studying CS too, I know they are shit, but meh, in 20-30 years they'll be better than any escort girl, and they'll be "moddable" too

hopefully

By definition rape is against a person. Consent or not it's impossible to rape a robot.

I sure hope so too m8.
Better learn ROS till then, it will be an essential part of robotics programming.

Dunno, I'm studying DB and AI right now

With all due respect I'm pretty sure people like you and I have no concept of what the "most sophisticated" AI's in the world are capable of.

Data banks and artificial intelligence i guess?
Not sure about data banks, never had that shit, but artificial intelligence is a rather theoretic thing. You'd be able to use it if you're a genious, but otherwise you'll just use existing engines and curse all day because they don't work like you want them to.
ROS is robot operating system - an open source toolkit for all kinds of robots. Don't know too much about it right now, but i will learn the fuck out of that in the next few years,

Well i made the assumption that we're talking about consumer grade AI for speech recognition because we're talking about a consumer product - Eliza and however they're all called.

yep databases and artificial intelligences

Robots were not really my thing first because of their current limitations.

AI development will be a thing with the arrival of intelligent robots in our daily lives.

If you just want to mod the fuck out of your sexbot, then learn with ROS and make your own programs.

Never mind that.

Where's my Fat Sexbot?

>WTF

Watches at 0 $?

I bet my robot would friendzone me

>10k $ will still get you a glorified toaster with less intelligence thank a drunk child with down syndrome
Are you talking about the woman or the robot?

Joke's on you. I married my hand and my state doesn't recognize spousal rape as a crime.

Is this one of the new self driving Teslas?
