The Murata Boy, a robot developed in Japan, can ride a bicycle like you and me. He’s got Gyro Sensors so he can detect position and balance itself. He can even identify if a surface is uneven, with obstacles or is as smooth as a highway. It transmits images back to a computer for future reference and analysis. Apparently, this creation is the product of trying to develop a robot that can lift heavy loads and assist in perilous terrain sites.

Here’s the first commercial ever made by a fembot. Actroid DER-2 stars in a 15-second TV ad titled “The Woman Who Doesn’t Rust”. It’s promoting an insect repellent and sunscreen spray. From far away she looks kinda good, but the close-up will scare the hell out of you. Now that Fembots are making commercials, porn can’t be far behind.
