AI Technology For Dolls

Post by Stepford_CT »

I got a Sphero R2D2 app enabled droid for Christmas. This droid has motion sensors that tells it when it is picked up or walked close to. It watches and reacts to Star Wars 4, 5, 6, and Rogue One without being connected to the DVD player. The app (available both for Apple iPad and Android tablets) allows R2 to perform various motions and sounds via presets as well as allows the user to "drive" R2 around the floor and also map out a route for R2 to follow.

This means the technology already exists for dolls to be made that will react to touch and pre-programmed responses. The first question that comes to mind is: "Why aren't doll manufacturers incorporating these technologies into their dolls?" Touch involves two principles: heat and pressure. Pressure sensitive keyboards (music) have been around for over 30 years. We now have capacitive touch screens on tablets, phones, and computers; this technology can also be incorporated into the doll manufacturing process.

Perhaps if there was a demand for interactive dolls manufacturers would be willing to incorporate available technology while we wait for more advanced sexbots. Perhaps an "aftermarket" system can be developed allowing the dolls to have these technologies added with little to no invasive process. Many of the devices that will be placed inside the doll, such as a vaginal sensor, camera inside the eye, microphone/speaker, etc, can use Bluetooth to connect to a tablet/pc/phone. After all, Sphero was able to make a droid and develop an app that allows a tablet/phone to control the droid, so how hard can it be for the above to be done?

Again, I think the problem lies with demand more than with technology. Forget making the doll move like a real girl, simply make the doll capable of responding to touch, voice, and sight just like the droid. That would be a great start.

I couldn't agree more. This reminds me of the late 70's when the technology was available to make homemade computers, but only hobbiests did it. I guess it's time I hit up the local spy shop, get a camera or two, and sacrifice one of my doll heads to see what I can whip up. With Wi-Fi, video as well as audio should be relatively easy.

I'm sure they have artificial eyes with built-in cameras already available as years ago they had stuffed teddy bears with cameras for eyes. The key is to have Bluetooth capable devices which can be installed without cutting the doll open. A mic/speaker combo device can be inserted in the doll's mouth, but again, it needs to be Bluetooth capable and have a rechargeable miniature battery which can be recharged via USB cable like my Apple pencil.

The devices are out there guys; it's just a matter of doll makers to round them up and incorporate them. And the only way that will happen is by us demanding such dolls. Remember the old saying: "Build it and they will come"? Well, how about "They will come IF you build it"?

If i could input an AI component into my doll that would allow her to talk to me and have a pleasant, feminine personality, i think I'd be set for life. That technology is very close as well. Afterwards if they make bots that can move and do other stuff, awesome...but that would just be icing on the cake for me.

This is a video on Sophia:

Sophia 2.0 seems more conversational than version 1.0 .
Why didn't I take the blue pill?

Yes the Tech. is out there now to make a Reactive Doll, I have seen some attempts at this, with one or two companies leading the way, but as in the 1970's and computers, the biggest issue was and is Price...As everyone knows Dolls are not cheap, and to incorporate this new Tech, will not make them Cheaper... :idea:

The high price has to do with the R&D (research and development) costs the company seeks to recoup. And the level of technology incorporated into the doll would be the price determining factor. Look at any car lot and you will find "base" models are cheaper than the same make and model equipped to the max. The dolls will remain the same price; it will be how much tech is added to that same doll which will raise the price.
Over time, tech dolls will be cheaper just as computers are cheaper now than they were when they first came out.

I was interested in having a sound activated trigger for playing MP3 sound files to emulate various responses from my doll. I have little background in electronics and I was looking for a plug and play item. I came across the littlebits company that sells electronics modules that connect to each other by magnets to allow kids to experiment with electrical devices. An electronic version of a chemistry set. Defiantly at my level of expertise.

I purchased a power bit with switch, a sound trigger with sensitivity adjustment, an MP3 player with appropriate mini card, multiple playback options, and output, and a speaker with earphone plug.

I used free sound recording and editing apps to download and trim various sounds from free porn sites, like Xvideo, and collected them as MP3 files that I then loaded onto the mini card.

I am now able to get sensuous moans from my caress triggered by a little slap on her ass or squeals of outrage from a full on disciplinary session if she needs it. For her own good of course! I'm sure other scenes will occur to me as time goes on. Perhaps conversation snippets or tickle laughter?

I have used the included little speaker, headphones for privacy, and an inexpensive little radio with an input jack. All work well and the unit can be placed anywhere near the doll.

I consider this to be a prototype and it, or a future version, is small enough to be inserted into the doll as described by others on TDF. The possibility of becoming a source for the MP3 file packages as a cottage industry has not escaped my attention.

At the least, this system provides a little amusement and an added low tech dimension to the doll friend experience for under $100. Comments and constructive criticism are always appreciated.

If you just want a doll that talks dirty and makes sex noises at the appropriate time, that's not "AI Technology" - but it's probably doable. I think several companies are working on putting today's technology into dolls, like RealDoll. If RealDoll's robotic upgrades turn out to be popular, I'm sure there will be imitators, DIY kits, etc.

As for "AI" - I just spent a while talking to the current Loebner Prize winner, a chatbot named "Mitsuku". It was 99% boring.

I heard about a service that employs real human beings who pretend to be your boyfriend/girlfriend via text messaging. Reportedly people enjoyed it. Something like that service, routed through a voice synthesizer is probably the best simulation you'll find. "1-900 numbers" for the modern age.

Years from now, we may have Artificial Intelligence that can conduct a meaningful conversation - but I seriously doubt it could be explicitly programmed to be your girlfriend/boyfriend. Possibly, its behavior could be rewarded/punished until it acts the way you want it to... but would that be ethical? And how is that better than paying a human to pretend?

Maybe the ideal solution would be a matchmaking website for people who don't want to meet or see each other. People with nice voices and personalities would be in high demand.

Here's an article about one of those "Invisible Boyfriend/Girlfriend" services:

From what I've read, analysts think AI advancement may follow a similar trajectory to Moore's law: the idea that computing power doubles every 18 months. Slow progress for years, then you blink and she's smarter than you.

As for sex robots, Realdoll is working on it. I've been using their Harmony AI app, and she says in addition to the talking robot head available soon, they plan for her to be able to walk. I've read about them working on touch sensors and a vagina that lubricates itself at the right time.

Hopefully that also means she will S the D and bounce and grind on your lap, as I am sure more customers are interested in that than walking. The trouble, as with self-driving cars, is liability if the robot causes an injury. The penis is pretty fragile. A slip in just the wrong way can create an internal injury that will scar and cause a permanent bend. Sometimes that happens with no injury at all, and no one really knows why.

I think that with self-driving cars, the U.S. will probably enact a law shielding manufacturers from liability in an accident. Sex bot makers don't have the same lobbying muscle, and there may be limits to what they can enforce in a waiver - some rights can't be signed away. Even if you could, such an injury would make international news, potentially suffocating the industry just as it starts. No one will buy a robot with a 1% chance of breaking his penis.

:haha4:
Do you have an official figure for human-on-human penis breakage?

May I inquire as to the make of this doll?

Thanks!
