Imagine if someone, somewhere managed to find the exact formula for producing the most perfectly awful example of the uncanny valley (say, for a horror movie or something). Now, accept the fact that this organization is the Japanese Science and Technology Agency, and that they managed to produce the most disturbing machine you've ever seen, without even realizing it.
The 33 kilogram CB2 is literally beyond words in its freakiness, not only in its nailing of the uncanny valley, but in its description. Apparently it emulates "the physical ability of a 1- or 2-year-old toddler, can turn over and stand up with assistance," has 51 compressed air-powered actuators, and has 200 tactile sensors in its "skin." It sends so many shivers up our spine to think of the CB2's lifeless putty coating as "skin" that it's a wonder we're even able to continue typing.
Blah, stupid engadget, you have to go to Youtube to watch the vid.

That sounds like the most useless robot of all time.

Well, it's true. What's the point of a robot that just rolls around and makes gaga noises and needs help to stand? Furbies have more capability than that piece of crap.

Their algorithms are insane. I mean it might not be as efficient as honda's models(which it dosent aim to be..) at displacement but i mean the wobbly leg emulation is like a take on more lifelike/random/error induced movement. Look at the thigh/leg/feet articulation its fucking awesome. The face is cool too. Id hit it.
-
If it had a hole, you know people would be fucking it.
-
Now watch Bz post that he bought it and is now changing its daipers while trying to keep it quiet as social services knocks on his door.

Fool, it has a moving orifice enough said.

i'd kill it, that thing disturbs the shit out of me.
-
Dude, you own multiple fleshlights. How could that thing creeep you out?
-
fleshlights make a queefing sound, that thing makes a scary sound. Plus if you close your eyes you can imagine that its something its meant to imitate. As that pedobot makes freaky servo noises and squeels
-
are there any sexy fembots or something on the market?
-
The fact that I just found out Bz closes his eyes to better simulate penetrating the female vagina through use of his fleshlight doesn't sit to well with me.

theres pleanty of dolls made out of silicone and other things but they arent jointed well. But no robots, yet.
Blue no need to worry, i no longer use that aide

Oh god. I hope Will Smith will save the day when these things try to take over the world 200 years from now. I hope he has a time machine too.

Come on G, it would be just like fucking a hairless 12 year old, which you talk about so often.
-
Uh no, whiteman i'm sorry. Just no!
-
Uh no, whiteman i'm sorry. Just no!
So you are cool with hairless 12 year olds, but not robots?
-
form of speech whiteman, i like my girls with hair on them ok. And i do not like robots they freak me out.
