Aiko the fembot was created by inventor Le Trung. You probably remember them both. They are hard to forget. Trust us, we’ve tried. Well, Aiko and her boyfriend are at it again. They recently spent Christmas with his family, and he even bought her presents.(Probably his “C**k in a box”.) And he’s still claiming that she’s just like a real woman.

Hey, they look happy together. Who are we to judge? So he likes to stuff her stocking… To each his own. We’re just steering well clear of this couple. Should Aiko suddenly gain self-awareness she’s going to lay the smack down on this nerd but good, for all of the ungodly things he has done to her in the bedroom.

The HRP-4C is a walking, talking humanoid fashion model fembot developed by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). It has possibly the creepiest humanoid movements I’ve ever seen.

I want to shoot it in the face and save mankind. Sadly, as these fembots get more lifelike, I won’t know whether to shoot it or sexually harass it.

She has 30 motors in her body, is 62-inches tall, and weighs 95-lb. The HRP-4C can walk around and strike a range of poses.(You ain’t a real model until you puke up your meals and get a coke habit. Just saying.) She also has 8 motors in her face, allowing her to wow the crowds with expressions like anger and surprise. HRP-4C is scheduled to make her official runway debut in a special fashion show in Tokyo next week, though she will not be wearing any clothes. Video below.

Even we have trouble keeping up with the various masturbatory fembots that lonely dorks create, so we may have covered this one before, I’m not sure. And it’s probably not new. But it is funny.

I won’t spoil it for you. Just watch and enjoy.

A Chinese man says he is planning to build a robot modeled on Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Wang Wenrong, 78, spoke of his plans after unveiling his first two home-made robots, two “beauty robots” that can “bow, weave, speak and sing” – each 1.8 metres tall and weighing 50kg.

They aren’t exactly Aiko, but hey whatever. I wonder if how realistic his Clinton Bot will be. Cankles or no cankles?

Japan is a clear world leader in the robotics frontier, and for that reason we can look to them when we wonder what robots of the future may look like. Tokyo Gas has a commercial that very well may be a testament to the form future bots will take.
I don’t know any Japanese, but what I can gather from this commercial is: a dude finds this girl sitting on the ground outside, we learn she’s a robot, flashback to her with this other guy in an apartment, they discuss utilities, she pushes him out a window. If anyone who understands the language can translate it would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully this fembot is a real prototype and not just a human actress. In the case of this girl actually being a robot, some interesting specs I picked up from the video are: advanced speech recognition, Ethernet port bellybutton?, projector eyes, LEDs in her cheeks, oh and telepathy. If this doesn’t make you want to buy Tokyo Gas by the cubic ton, nothing will.

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.
