Perfect Woman Will Be Available June 11
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 27 of May , 2008 at 1:48 am
This is it. The pinnacle of modern robotics research. A company called AI Robotics has successfully created an ::ahem:: fully functional robotic woman that will be available for purchase as of June 11. When I say fully functional, I don’t just mean in the bedroom… According to AI Robotics, the robot (named “LISA”) can also cook meals, go shopping, do chores, give massages, and dress and recharge herself automatically. She’s got an IQ of 130 and can make conversation about news, traveling, culture and music. Have a look:
LISA uses proprietary RKS (”Recognition Krax System”) technology, which helps her recognize and respond to vocal, tactile, and visual stimuli. Her skin contains thousands of sensors, she has cameras in her eyes that can rapidly analyze forms, colors, and gestures and relate them all to an internal database, and she has the ability to learn augmented with a dedicated internal wireless internet connection. So, in some respects, she’s actually better than a human, and it won’t surprise you that I’ve already signed up to order one. I wonder if my real life girlfriend will be upset… She’ll just have to wait for the male version, I guess, which should be available soon.

A rather juvenile hoax and a waste of time to put it here.

I was almost convinced. After watching the video it is quite obvious that the robot is a human actor. The hand movements are far too fluid for the current stage of robotics and the facial movements are not uncanny whatsoever. Maybe soon we will see a robot like this, but for now they will be portrayed by actors.

I don’t believe it.

Given the current level of AI research, this would be an astronomical jump in technical achievement. Therefore, I believe this when I see it. Until then, color me skeptical at best.

Seriously — come on. It’s a woman with some waxy makeup. I was fooled by about two seconds of this YouTube version of “Stepford Wives”.

The Lisa robots will be only for July, time delayed for the cause of all robots made have flue, and can cause feever in contact of human. So it will be the great day in mid-July. Just perfect to bring for holidays.

They’ve got a proper company website, a proper video interview with the founders and you had seen the product too. I believe this thing myself.
Here’s how i differentiate if its a robot anot.
-No matter how flexible/smooth a robot movement can be, there’s still some uniformity speed throughout its movements if you notice.
-Next is the fingers, the easiest way to identify a robot. No matter how human like the robot movement is, the fingers of the robot will always looked like its “locked” or “stuck”.
I used to look at the mouth too to identify if thats a robot, but this model is different. Previous humanoid robot models just create simple actuations to open and close the mouth. This model has created the mouth muscles that is so closely resembles that of a human. It can speak a letter “O” with its mouth shaped to what a normal human is speaking. That very impressive!
Just compare this robot’s mouth with another robot model over here>> http://www.kokoro-dreams.co.jp/robot/act/index.html. You will notice the difference.
