Quote:U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi!


Ok, let's try to big girls and boys while looking at U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi, a "mixed reality" avatar from Yokohama National University wee recently peeped at our Tokyo Reader Meetup after escaping from the NTT DoCoMo labs. Destined to support you in your state of involuntary abstinence, the U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi system maps a pretty girl onto the robot's anatomically correct, green-cloth surface with the help of a sensor-equipped head-mounted display worn by the lonely, lonely man. The result is a 3D character you can touch and "interact" with. Researcher Michihiko Shoji hopes that the system can be commercialized for arcades and personal humanoids for general use. Slather her up with artificial human skin and you've bunged the hole Tux could never quite fill. Also available in a chubby doughboy model if that's how you roll. Video? Oh hells yeah, right after the break.

Looks like the guys at the modeling department couldn't make the thing look better than a green blob, resorting to computer generated graphics...

What i think those robots are generally quite expensive and only for researches.I don't see it a robot sell in the market with the female body and just for touching purposes... Sounds wierd, but the japs are always making robots,but without proper AI they can do nothing yet,i think  its too soon and wee might see cyborgs in like 40 years.

I saw once a robot addon for a human, like in the matrix movie 3rd part, but not so big and not for military use, but these robot addon is giving the human extra power. Like Robot muscles.
