Robots: Touch My Butt FOR SCIENCE!

Maybe we should just stop work on AI development in any form, since it doesn't help us in any real way and it's a waste of money.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if we need to tweak the Turing Test...

"If the butt of a robot is indistingishable from that of a human, then maybe robots really are people too"

Is this the point where we find out how to put Aasimov's 3 laws of robotics as hardwired into the robots?

Meg that air hump at the ~40 second mark was the best looking air hump I've ever seen, I can't put my finger on why though.

Comment regarding the robots themselves, there has to be a Bob's Burgers episode script hiding in the development of these enthused butt-touching robots.

Chobits when?

Not saying I want to touch robotic butt... But I'm also not 'not' saying that.

Mentioning Miku was an interesting coincidence at the start though as I imagine that her concerts might be one of the first places a robot humonid would be seen, even if it was just following a routine.

So far it's all just news about studies on robots somewhere far from public eyes making it feel like distant sci-fi to me

Its for science!

I hate myself for doing this, but...

IEEE is pronounced I-Triple-E, not I-E-E-E, and NAO is pronounced "now," and he is awesome. Really... Fucking... Awesome...

So what you're saying is that, for the well being of a future world where robots are more common, we should learn to be comfortable around and trust robots we see? Blindly? That sounds like something a robot would say. I'm watching you Turney..
