AI Robotics hoax claims robot is 'Perfect Woman'
More a statement of loneliness and misogyny than a real product, the “Perfect Woman” publicity stunt is in full swing, claiming a planned release of its first model on June 11. Said to be able to go shopping, clean up the house, cook dinner, give you a massage and understand you, this “perfect” woman is allegedly the product of two robotics students at Kobe University in Japan.
According to the hype accompanying the launch, the blonde, brunette and redhead robots use “a technology called RKS, ‘Recognition Krax System,’ which allows for vocal, tactile and visual recognition.” They can even “satisfy your desires in the bedroom.” We’re still scratching our heads, wondering what the purpose of this art project really is. At least they could have gotten a model for their videos that didn’t sweat so much.
Hit Continue for the video of this “woman” who’s obviously far from perfect.

Its good to see that "perfect" like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That's not sweat. They put something on her face to make it look more like plastic.

I always secretly wanted a Stepford Wife, but after seeing that I'm not so sure anymore.

The problem is the IMPOSIBILITY of this robot to have an equilibrated balance, if the robot try to put his pant the robot will fall down on the floor, or to go on stairs, will fall down!

Honestly, when I saw the video at first, I thought it was fake. But being the geek that I am, I began to entertain the idea that maybe, if only just that, we were so technologically advanced in A.I. that 'Lisa' was the real deal. If it is, that's pretty cool and I'll be in line to update the model they currently have and maybe add a glowing, scanning type of spine to it. If not, then maybe I'll still do the former.
