The first one however. ./le sigh.........
People touching a mechanical looking robot in intimate areas under instruction isn't a great test. I would think that the test subjects were probably more embarrassed about being asked to do this than actually doing it. Dr Kathleen Richardson is correct that simply measuring skin resistance and reactions shows very little.
But
I hope that's a typo, but whatever. Yes, they could send someone down the wrong path, but so can so many other stimuli available in every day life. Lets look at common clothing advertising for a moment shall we? It's one of the most damaging social aspects out there, forcing images of perfect men and women onto the masses and telling them that if they dont look like that, they arent beautiful. We allow that to continue in public, but an autonomous sexual outlet for private use is doing to drive society in to the ground?CASR has also received considerable publicity with its claims that human-robot sex could "further reinforce disturbing human lived experience".
I'm sure every mass manufacturer in the world is glad to hear this. Imagine KX-4 down on Engines telling the boss it wasn't feeling particularly well lubricated and it was going home for the afternoon......"We are not proposing to extent rights to robots," a statement on the campaign group's website reads.
Robots are built for a purpose. If they fulfil that purpose they are a successful product.
Again, correct. If they were then we would have a serious moral dilemma on our hands, creating what is effectively a new species capable of self awareness, judgement, and thought."We do not see robots as conscious entities.
So what we are saying here is that we are the ones who define the limits of the capabilities of our own creations. And creating a sex robot would simply mean designing it to perform sex. Seems pretty simple. It's still just a tool to do a job so far.We propose instead that robots are a product of human consciousness and creativity and human power relationships are reflected in the production, design and proposed uses of these robots.
Ah, there we go, the gender equality card. So make both male and female robots and then its fucking equal!"As a result, we oppose any efforts to develop robots that will contribute to gender inequalities in society."

Re: Robots Television Documentary
Sex and love are two different things.
Why do men build female robots?
Easy to find out, men for the most part are more visual and let's be honest here more men are into robotics.
Men love the female anatomy soo much that they want to build one . Whether women view it as sexism or just plain wrong...it's debatable.
In my opinion the Scarlett Johansson humanoid is hot but that doesn't mean that I don't find the real Scarlett Johansson attractive.
I think for most of us we would still want a real woman but a fembot would be nice for those lonely nights

Re: Robots Television Documentary
I would also love to travel to England; I would pay my own airfare.
So if you're having a big event in England, robotics or something else, I'd like to come.
Re: Robots Television Documentary
One of the criticisms I've seen a few times is that being attracted to humanoids and being attracted to actual humans will be mutually exclusive. Is what you're saying that they'll complement eachother?
Who do we think is gonna be the next celebrity humanoid?

Re: Robots Television Documentary
I will say that if (and it is a very long way off due to patent trolls and lack of funding) sex robots are mass produced I will buy one. It may, in time, be seen as similar to a car or home purchase.

I'm glad robots are becoming more "mainstream" and documentaries like these might lower the fear of this technology.ValarMorgulis wrote:I just spoke to Nick. It went well. There were actually a couple of questions that made me pause to think before responding, but it was not that uncomfortable. And he is not a guy that is looking to make fun of us doll owners; he is trying to report on robotics advancements and how that will affect the sex doll industry, as well as discussing the potential for sex robots.

I will definitely buy one too

In the same way, I will volunteer to be filmed should Nick want or need a TDF member from the NW of the US, and I told him so.
Re: Robots Television Documentary
I must admit that I see price as being the greatest obstacle to their widespread adoption.
Re: Robots Television Documentary
I feel like a payment plan would be the most affordable way for robots to go mainstream.ns001 wrote:What do you guys think would be the pricepoint that could make them a "mainstream" product? Not in terms of what you could personally afford - more in terms of what they'd need to cost for people to see them as a serious option?

I'd also say if there's no payment plan then I would think less than $10,000 for robots to be in many homes.

Manufacturers will have to pair up with finance companies, so buyers purchasing something
close to the cost of a new car will have a shot.

Re: Robots Television Documentary
Price of a new car, DTW? That's a whole lot of money. If people were forking out for a robot as expensive as that, do you think they'd expect it to do more than just offer love, companionship and sex?

Re: Robots Television Documentary
Hell yeah! Cooking and cleaning would be first on my list, but let's be reasonable. A new high end realistic sex doll already costs about $8k. A Realbotix head by itself to go on such a doll is rumored to cost about $10k. Add walking, grasping, and other abilities, most of which do not yet exist, and $50k sounds like a low estimate to me. If she were THAT good, I could stay home while she works. Anything remotely resembling the bots on the "Humans" TV show is going to cost upwards of six figures. IMHO.ns001 wrote:Ah yes payment plans are a good way to do it.
