Actroid DER2 fembot loves Hello Kitty
Kokoro, a Sanrio Group company specializing in the design and manufacture of robots, unveiled its new Actroid DER2 feminine guide robot at Sanrio headquarters in Tokyo on October 4.
Actroid DER2 is an upgraded version of Kokoro’s previous fembot, Actroid DER, who has made quite a name for herself by providing services at a number of events, including the 2005 World Expo. Compared to the previous model, DER2 has thinner arms and a wider repertoire of expressions. The smoothness of her movement has also been improved, making it now even more likely for the uninitiated to confuse her with an actual human being.
Actroid’s limbs, torso and facial expressions are controlled by a system of actuators powered by pneumatic pressure. Once programmed, she is able to choreograph her motions and gestures with her voice.
Kokoro intends to rent Actroid DER2 to companies and events. The basic rental fee is expected to be 400,000 yen (US$3,500) for 5 days, plus extra fees for technical support, delivery and choreography changes. For those who can’t cope with a sayonara after 5 days, there is a late fee of 80,000 yen per day.

Ummm… Isn’t it cheaper just to rent an actress to pretend to be a robot?

For that kind of money, you can get top-of-the-range biological fuckpuppets…
I’d hit it…
I’d Tag it
this is very sad, and disturbing. why not appreciate REAL LIVE females? there are more of them out there than men, even.
ooooh wait, that means she would have a mind of her own. oh, i had forgotten! how silly of me.
It might help non-Japanese speakers to know that Kokoro means heart.

Earth to morons. Come in morons. She’s a GUIDE. So she would be used for things like museum tours. She not a sex toy. *shakes head*

Babe-age good. Me get electricuted though… Oops.
Bot Babe-age shock twinkies off. That bad.
But she have ‘heart’ - that good.
Oh me confused.
She looks hot. Hot.
It’s not cheating on your wife if you fuck a fembot! :P
Sounds to me like jen has silicone envy.
Wahhh??? A fem robot???O.O Well I don’t see the harm in it I suppose. If guys pay more attention to fem bots then woo-hoo they’ll leave all the real girls to me!! Mwhahaha…..> Seriously I’m not eh I agree with Harry. She does look hot.:D Yeahhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah so what I’m commenting twice! Sue meh! Oi,oi it cut some words out!! Geez what a comp! Well whatever I’m not a lesbian if any of you are wondering. Hehe fuck puppets. That’s why you have friends with privlages. XD
[…] Want to see more Hello Kitty stuff, check out this Actroid DER2 fembot from Sanrio.

She has disturbingly large hands…
those are man hands for sure - did anybody chseck for a pronounced adam’s apple? or is this a mas-to-fembot?
Friends with priviliges, now she knows what she’s talking about….
as to museum tours, F$%* that, all this bot is good for is for being in an information booth as in when people actually feel like robots telling everyother person that the bathrooms are located down the escalator to the left…..
I hate when you try calling a company and a fembot answers…. those menu’s are long as hell, what happened to human interaction… I guess those computers are made by the same people with fuck puppets.

In her off time I bet the programmers and engineers have her lying on her back on the carpet moaning and groaning and thrashing her head back and forth orgasmically between blurts of “Oh, oh, ohhhh, ooooooh, yes. YESSSS!” while she is pawing at her groin and breasts.
I am interested in your views, Mr. Phantom, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
That’s beside the point. Fembots could revolutionize the way we play video games…Love simulators, mostly, but who doesn’t want to fuck a doll? I dare you to say that you don’t want to fuck a robot. Eh? Eh? No takers. Fine, I’ll go engineer myself my own damn fuckbot…But, that gets me thinking. If you have to pay for technical support for a robot, what if she has some sort of Memory read error? Does she have a green screen implanted in her ass?

Does it make you a little horny?
A little.
Cool.
That is super-cool.
I have to question their use of the phrase “she is robot WORKING GIRL” on the promotional poster though, heh heh!!

I can’t wait to have sex with her. My toaster barely turns me on anymore.
[…] La mujer robot más guapa del mundo | Y su gatito Estoy REALMENTE preocupado sobre mi salud mental. Viendo las fotografías y el espectacular video del último robot japonés con aspecto femenino sólo puedo pensar: “jolines… está buenísima… me la tiraría aunque me quedara electrocutado” (jeje). Actroid DER2 (ese es su nombre) ha sido diseñada por Kokoro, una rama de Sanrio (los de Hello Kitty) especializada en la creación de robots. La versión anterior, recordarán, servía de guía en la Expo 2005 de Aichi, y la nueva se caracteriza por tener unos brazos aún más delgados y un mayor repertorio de expresiones. También se ha mejorado la suavidad de sus movimientos, confundiéndose cada vez más con los humanos. La androide es capaz de sincronizar a la perfección sus gestos y voz. La intención de Kokoro es alquilarla (que mal suena) a empresas y eventos. A partir de 400.000 yenes (unos 2.700 euros) puedes tener a esta encantadora muñequita en el recibidor de tu casa durante 5 días.

i believe if people spend money into the interest of this doll, the price will dramatically decrease and it will be affordable.
can you fuchhher?
ELLA ES UNA MARAVILLA DE LA INTELIGENCIA HUMANA….
I think it’s about time to build a true robot, and one as close to human as we can. I think a walking and talking robot, that looks human would a giant step forward. Do not think about others, who would be more happy in the middle ages. I wish you well. I hope your creation become everything she can be!
Me gusto mucho!!! (Spanish)
=(^_^)=
this is mean she isnt a toy she is a robot so stop being A BUNCH OF GROSE PERVY OLD MEN AND GET A LIFE AND STOP THINKING ABOUT A ROBOT IN BED WITH YOU >:(((( BECAUSE SHE ISNT YOURS have a good day
its not a sex toy it is a robot that give people tour of things not to have a hand in your pants when u want some
Stupid perverted males.. one day all males that are perverted are going to get it >:D…
D8 THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!
Seriously, this freaks me out….If they make fembots that will just keep getting better and better, eventually they will be better than regular women and there will be no need for us anymore, and to keep the population alive, they will probably clone the women and men….
Nice, but not convincing. If they wanted to do a much better job, they could have stabilized the thing better to prevent the bobbing and bouncing of the torso. If they had, I think it would have been fantastic. Still, very well done.

far less impressive as a bot than as a super-realistic sculpture…
Can she walk? does she repond to voice command?
just wondering she’s really cool i’m fastenated with her she absoulty amazing
I’m sick of all you horny dogs and your stupid comments. No one thinks you’re macho by saying you’d do the robot, its just like saying you’d do a robosapien. But I guess the only men that have commented so far have never actually had sex with anything other than inanimate objects so none of you would know any better.
You girls are only against this because they haven’t come out with a proper “manbot” yet, complete with all the vibrating “attachments.”
Another thing: I sure wish someone would come up with good aritificial muscles: some sort of material that would contract and expand with an electic charge or laser impulse, for example. That would eliminate the necessity of pneumatics, actuators, etc. and make for much more realistic movements and textures. It would need to have very efficient and accurate power/response to emulate the strength, speed and subtlety of actual muscle. It would also need to be able to function at the range of scales found in real muscles to make realistic facial expressions, hand movements, etc.
Quite a fit bot!!
As for shagging it. Well, obviously this is just a guide bot.
However, as the Internet has shown, sex is a good driver of innovation, so don’t be surprised when the first HIV and clap free, all orifices open, all positions without cramp and swallowing with no debate, fully functioning shag-bot appears. That it looks Japanese is definitely a plus.
“Me luv you long time…..ten dollar….”
Go, Jen! I agree with Jen.
Let\\\’s rid the world of Hello Kitty by supporting http://www.goodbyekitty.net instead.
i want it so bad, even if you couldnt actually fuck it, u could have it do dirty things to you
[…] Pink Tentacles. Woohootness… fembots! […]
People, wake up. shes not going to be used for porn of a fuckpuppet. shes going to work in places like book stores or a guide or movie theater ticket sellers. *sighs*
oh and robo girl, she cant walk yet. shes too heavy for her own legs. but im sure they will soon make her legs strong enough so she can walk, and yes I also think shes amazing :3
Alrighty then.
To those offended by my male compatriots. Please accept that there are those who do not share your views, be disgusted as is your right, but please moderate that disgust with the knowledge that this is not the general male viewpoint.
To those tech heads like myself, consider the implications for prosthesis work created by this “fembot”. Smooth articulated motion in a human-seeming limb would answer the prayers of so many amputees as to be nearly a miracle. The person who converts this technology to general use will be a very rich little monkey.
So lets pray some little perv makes this lifetech a reality for his “fuckpuppet” and some genious makes it work for the tragically maimed.
[…] a peek at how far robots/android technology has come already. This fembot is certainly heading in the lifelike direction. Wouldn’t you […]

Why are so many men so willing to bang a machine–a collection of metal rods, plastic covers and silicon and germanium electrical components–when there are so many real warm flesh and blood women out there? What’s so erotic about steel? What’s so arousing about plastic? Is it the outer latex and rubber covering that tittilates? Yeah, I know. I’m a real joy-kill when I break her down into her individual components. I know it’s the illusion of a real female that hardens your nether-regions, but my point is this: It is neither female, nor human! Get a life, guys!

Why are so many men so willing to bang women– collections of rigid tubes of calcium, magnesium and phosphate ions, of fibrous contractile tissue, coated in layers of epithelial tissue both dead and dying, –when there are so many clean, sterile, everlasting machines? What’s so erotic about slowly decaying organic matter? What’s so arousing about the chemical/electric reactions we call thought? Is it the knowledge that one day both he and she will stop breathing, turn cold, and die that titillates? Yeah, I know. I’m a real joy-kill when I break human beings down into their individual components. I know it’s the illusion of a partner that will stay young and beautiful forever, that will never break down, grow sick and old, that will remain constant as long as you can fix them that hardens your nether-regions, but my point is this: The whole point of love is that you both know it will end in tears eventually, but you feel like you will live forever!

What can I say? To his his own, however, consider this…
What happens to 50+% of marriages out there?
How many h.s./college romances last forever, as the ‘Love Story’ movies say? Is the concept of a soulmate more or less a biochemical illusion?
You see folks, the vast majority of real adults are either divorced, widowed, or stay together for the kids a/o public perception of a happy household. I would even say that the so-called once perfect couple, portrayed in “Greg and Dharma”, are really a henpecked attorney and a free wheeling hippie. All and all, like everything else, once the kids turn 14-16, most marriages are already on the rocks.
Do some make it *work*? Sure, and for those individuals that’s great but for the rest of society, who’s struggling with alimony, housing payments, along with decreasing economic opportunities with age discrimination, offshoring, etc, perhaps a robot companion vis-a-vis lover wouldn’t be such a monstrosity? And really, the Terminator stuff is kinda out there. Ok, we’re still centuries away from anything that can evolve into a self-aware Frankenstein-like creature. These bots will follow rules based programs which will fool a vast number of people who’re not aware of adaptive programming technologies but really, it’s more about a customized user interface than anything else.
////Why are so many men so willing to bang a machine–a collection of metal rods, plastic covers and silicon and germanium electrical components–when there are so many real warm flesh and blood women out there?////
BEcause…with the robot, men can have the young child like women their lil darwinian evolution stoked minds are programmed to desire.
There may be many real women out there, ones who dont insist on tall, good looking handsome guys…oh are there such ladies? Women too are driven by internal mental programming. So we got ugly short guys whos only options in the dating pool are women THEY find un-attractive. Or other guys who dont do well with women for whatever reason. so two unattractive people now having un attractive children. Break the chain of unattractiveness by providing these robots and thus prevent the unattractive genes from spreading >_
If it was a male robot, no one would have thought it was intended for sexual purposes.
Ah, Male privilege.
[…] language, and sensitivity to touch. This particular company, Kokoro, seems to have a thing for robots in female form, too. […]
would the women be complaining about Gigalo Joe no they would me saying “More!, More!, More!, Dammit, More!”
The use of advanced version of this technology for sexual relation is not weird after all how mony women out their have vibrators and dildos.
A male version would not be assumed to be a “Gigalo Joe” but more of a kill bot. Once someone invents a new power source (and becomes super rich) along with more advanced materials technology. The army will be more intrested in uding these to hunt and kill people. Why have some slacker guarding a Top security facility when you can have robots that look human who will have no problem obeying the kill order. Similiar more primitive devices are already in use in Indonisia and are armed.
A much more “acceptable” use for such technology would be in replacement body parts for soldiers who have been wounded in wars. Have you seen the low level of such tech. A lot of people are still using hooks! and basic muscle controls. The robot parts and a suitable powersource would allow these people to be completly a Part of society with parts that look real to the touch. Rather that having to put up with parts that mark thenm out as different from the rest of the world.
YESSSSSSSS!!!! Women will soon be eradicated from the face of the earth , and this is how we will replace them , soon babies will be grown in laboratories , and this fembot will cook for us ,take care of babies, bring us beer . and let us f**k them whenever we want . All the moneys i spend dating women to have sex are going to be much better invested.And another thing , ONLY MEN are inventing things so you women , don’t think you can stop this.
I’m not claiming to be above all this, the idea sure as hell is more appealing than having a wank.
Women wont loose anything if these “sexbots” people are talking about were invented. It’d just provide a nice little sinkhole for the assholes who think women are only for fucking.
In fact more than likely people with such narrow views wont have a child with which to perpetuate their legacy. EVERYONE WINS :)
id sure like to fuck one of those. much better then women imo since women are too selfish.
