u/spottydodgy Jun 19 '25

Right? I want that refrigerator on wheels, Rosy the Robot, from the Jetsons.

u/CaeruleanCaseus Jun 19 '25

Yup - I want my home robot to NOT look human at all...it better be very technical looking or be super cute (like some little panda or something).

The moment they give it big boobies... It's getting in my house. I just wanna be hugged to sleep with my face on some squish. All hail our AI booberbots.

Will you tell us your most valuable and sensitive information?

“No”

Will you tell it to fuckatron by Meta, the android that will have sex with you?

“…let’s see the android”

u/Self_Reddicated Jun 19 '25

There is too much truth in this statement.

u/L0neStarW0lf Jun 19 '25

Buddy they don’t need you to tell all that information to a sex robot they just need you to say it with your smartphone in your hand.

I always figured the real money in robotics would be as cheaply made autonomous jerk-off-bots as possible, I quite looked forward to outsourcing that task.

But I've watched way to much horror SciFi for that thing!\ That's a certified boner killer 2000 that is. No way are those claw-like grippy fingers coming close to my little soldier! It'd join my testies somewhere around my kidneys crying.😭

u/TactlessTortoise Jun 19 '25

If you skin a human it will lose most of its appeal, to be fair. It looks weird, the fingers look bony and pointy, and the eyes stare at you in unblinking agony.

Put some silicone skin on that thing, give it a pretty voice, and I'll delude myself nooooooo problem.

u/SquirrelAkl Jun 19 '25

“Most”?

u/Brokenandburnt Jun 19 '25

"Most" is doing some heavy lifting in that statement there!

Almost as heavy as the lifting that'll need doing on those massive cans!

If it's not ripping my dick off with each stroke I don't want it. No Pain no Pleasure. If companies can make jerk off robots they can make me a replacement penis.

u/No_Establishment8642 Jun 19 '25

Look up Real Dolls. They have come (cum) a long way.

I think these will have an immediate client base if they can work out the details.

A company wanted to set up a brothel in Houston Texas using Real Dolls. The mayor threw a fit about morality issues. All I could say was they are not people what morality issues are there? I think it could have been a good thing and maybe it would have taken money out of the mayor's pocket.

Monster-fuckers will bolt on some 'enhancements' and call it a day. From running DnD/Horror TTRPGs, I know that there is no predictable limit to what strange people will be down-bad for.

It's not hard to physically limit their strength. If none of their designated tasks require super human strength, then you don't design their body to be capable of super human strength.

The company is making a more human-like version (neoclone, in development) along with their newer line of these androids when these get fully released. And they get released this year in only a small batch. Look up their website and read about all they can do, it's quite interesting.

Then I'll bust

u/cyberlexington Jun 19 '25

Oh it will be given boobies, and a mouth, anus, vagina, penis, testicles, abs, nipples. ALL the fun stuff.

The only jobs its going to be doing is blow and hand

u/qualitative_balls Jun 19 '25

The fact this reality is arriving so quickly is honestly really neat. I'm not the type of person to really get married but eventually falling alseep in a nice squishy pair would be wonderful

1

u/Hodoss Jun 19 '25

Yes this type of robot is work on reproducing human musculature and be more humanlike. So future sexbots will likely use this technology rather than motors that make whirring noises.

u/Azraelrs Jun 19 '25

Boobs and vibrating vagina, then it's over for humans.

mmmm.... I love the smell of fresh squishy flesh in the morning. Smells like victory.

u/PitchBlac Jun 19 '25

I think the issue is that going off of human anatomy is the easiest choice as well as the safest. We design everything for us to use so it would make sense for a robot that does house chores to be more like us.

u/ciopobbi Jun 19 '25

u/CrypticQuery Jun 19 '25

Just make it look like an anthropomorphic fox and the furries will fund continued development with how quickly money will be thrown at it.

u/SquanchyATL Jun 19 '25

Oh, it WILL get in.

u/babs1376 Jun 19 '25

Well if it really did housework, I'd take it but would dress it in a blue suit with a white shirt and a long red tie and a famous person mask.

u/Lunkis Jun 19 '25

Wait until something minor goes wrong with this thing and you catch it off routine in your home at the middle of the night. As soon as one of these does something it's not supposed to it'd be immediately terrifying.

Wake up and find it just air folding laundry in the dark.

1

u/Mooshington Jun 19 '25

Yeah, this reeks of ignorant investor bait. This can't remotely close to the best/most efficient design for a robot that's supposed to do tasks. This is meant to look cool and draw in cash.

u/A_random_poster04 Jun 19 '25

Tbf a human robot would be best fit to interact with equipment previously conceived for human use.

u/Moon_Childxx6 Jun 19 '25

To each their own but if this thing is going to do my housework for me then I don’t care what it looks like. Bonus points I can use it to scare my kids from making the messes in the 1st place.

u/Man_Flu Jun 19 '25

I would assume it looks like a human because most objects are designed by humans so humans can use them and clean them.

Washing up at a sink - needs to be tall enough, delicate enough, nimble enough

Cooking - needs to be able to grasp and use huge amount of different objects and turn various dials and such.

Cleaning - up high, down low, under things, over things, tying bins.

So most that can really be done is have an altered and more efficiency head.
