Disappointed that your girlfriend isn’t a robot? Yeah, we’ve all been there. After years of trial and error I’ve discovered that while it’s probably not a good idea to ask her to cover herself in silver body paint and call you “01101001101″ (trust me on that one), you just might be able to get her to put on this undeniably classy set of robot underwear. It’s got a bunch of cute little robots on it, along with hearts and lightning bolts (but you can just ignore those). The bra will run you $10, the thong $6, and boyshorts in the same pattern are also $6.

Yeah, uh, no idea what’s going on here, but it’s pretty freakin’ cool in a WTF sort of way. Can someone who speaks Japanese tell me how much I have to pay to get in there with my boffer sword and slice me up some robot ass arm?

Whee!
I found this on YouTube. It’s a robot on a swing, and the description (and most of the comments) are in Japanese. If any multilinguals out there would care to do us a favor and interpret, we’d be much obliged.

Do you fit into one of the following categories:
-Girls who are reaching or having reached puberty, hope to improve the growth of breast.
-Women, who are under pressure, want to relax themselves.
-Women who want to improve the quality of their sex activities.
-Women who want to have pretty breasts.
If so, the Breast Massage Robot, designed by Wei Wang and the Beijing BUBBY Robot Technologies CO., LTD, may be for you. Details are alarmingly sketchy about this amazing new technology, but according to the website soliciting corporate investment, “the massage is performed by both head and poles, during the massage the former circles as well as the latter draws and drops.” Ah, I get it now. More than 1,000 units per day are projected to sell in North America alone, and the designers say their goal is nothing less than “to make the BMR the hottest high-tech product worldwide.” Best of luck, guys, best of luck.

Kiva Systems designs robots that work in distribution centers, moving and sorting materials and components. Looks like they’re not bad dancers, either…
Happy holidays to you and your robot masters friends from all of us here at BotJunkie.

I don’t care how cool the ads are: there’s still no way I’m going to install Norton AntiVirus on my computer. Click here for the exciting conclusion. NORTON PUNCH!!!

If you’re one of those form-over-function types, and have a thing for robots (and you probably do if you’re reading this), here are a couple very cheap robots that don’t actually do anything besides add a little bit of extra robot-ness to the world.
Amazon Box Robot
Should go on sale for $15 in December. Perfect for a robot rumble. Um, do I have to pay for shipping…?
Jellibots
I don’t know the price or details on these guys, besides that they’re available in Australia and they look to be stuffed (so how much could they possibly cost?). One of the few opportunities to hit someone with a robot and damage neither. Good times.

Although we’ve kinda seen this before, I was still impressed with how dainty this robot arm was as it placed each ball bearing, and then replaced them in their piles when the time changed. Even more impressive would be some faster servos that somehow let it operate on a 1hz as opposed to 1/60hz update speed (just imagine it!). I would be proud to have a clock like this in my home, especially if it could be hacked to play Chinese checkers.

When a company combines helicopters with robots that look suspiciously like Asimo, it makes us happy. Especially with Christmas right around the corner. Kyosho’s Robo Hopper stands about 6″ tall and you can operate him like pretty much any other remote controlled helicopter. In this case, you can scare humans everywhere into thinking that robots are taking over the world with tiny air vehicles. The Playstation like controller that comes with him is 2.4GHz with 2 channels and runs on 4 alkaline batteries. According to the company, it will support up to 25 flying machines at the same time. Robo Hopper will be available in Japan as well as online by December for $90.
Can you see it? Millions of tiny flying Asimos blotting out the sun. And our enslavement begins…

I’ve lost count of the number of times where I’ve wished for a readily accessible robot packed with 14 CDs and a roll of toilet paper. RoboCard promises both, stocking the CDs in his chest and the toilet paper in his head. He’s made entirely of cardboard (some assembly required) and comes in either “Giant” or “Crazy” for an undisclosed Singaporean price.
