When will they build a robot with which you can have sex? I'm not getting any younger here!

Asimo first? #

"You said a robot's ability to move all of its limbs separately and simultaneously was a major step forward in creating a work 'bot."

No I bloody didn't! And I sure as hell didn't bum Jae either, whoever he/she is...

Is there a prize for the most obvious comment? Is there a prize for being the last person to make it?

Why walk like that? #

By this Posted Wednesday 15th October 2008 07:27 GMT

Can anybody explain the technical reason why all the humanoid robots I've seen so far walk as if they've just crapped themselves?

LMAO! Oh Richard, you entertaining little bundle of energy you!

@ Why walk like that? - Has to be for balance. Presumably their centre of gravity is much higher than fleshies and so when stepping forward they need to keep their top half quite far back to avoid toppling over. Mind you, if that were the case then presumably Dolly Parton would look like she'd just crapped herself too. Oh hang on...
