I hate how “art project” is now indistinguishable from “hoax.”

“Batteries not Included”

“Non contractual video”

“Check the conditions on the website”

“Currently stock availible”

Jeez, it’s like watching a car advertisement (those were running on the bottom of the screen at the end of the video).

This reminds me of the adds that came out before “I, Robot”. Is anyone remaking “Cherry 2000″?

@furre Agreed; so fake. It’s the skin that gets me. If they’ve got such amazing tech then why is her skin all shiny? I’ve seen other robots with fake skin that looks much more realistic, which makes me think they’ve just sprayed something on a real woman’s skin to make it look more fake.

Plus I’m not getting much of an Uncanny Valley vibe off her either. I’ve no doubt this is just a hoax.

I’m sure they built a bipedal robot capable of carrying on a conversation and recognizing the potential millions of things one might find in a fridge and also cook a meal out of what was in there. Absolutely. Doesn’t seem like a hoax at all. No siree. Real deal right there.

Nevermind the fact that last week we thought Asimo was the most advanced human-like robot in the world. Now, from nowhere, comes two guys who claim to have built something that makes Asimo look like a toaster, and instead of doing a demo for the press or others in the field, they’ve decided to compete with the company that makes RealDoll. Yeah… that seems plausible.

Just getting a computer to recognize a stove for a stove (considering the million available brands and models in the world) would be a feat, ffs.
