Ok, first of these are something I've been fascinated with and interested in for quite a while now.

Now don't even think about asking me how I know of these things or where to get them etc etc, as I will not answer you hehe.

They are adult material, and perfectly modeled, and from some pics Ive posted below, you could have trouble differentiating this to a real person. YES they really are that good. Thats why they are very expensive (most expensive on the market, but your buying real quality)

Cured tin based sillicone, over a steel skeletal frame. Sounds great so far yes. It is solid, but I feel for the more adventurous of you out there, a few snips and modifications here and there it would not be a problem (providing finances permit of course lol)

So here is the link. If you have not seen/heard of these I do suggest you check them out purely as works of art more than their original purpose. And enjoy the pics, and think of the possibilites with animatronics and AI inside

Enabling this realistic body (or, body shell?) to move realistically would mean adding millions of muscles inside it - not possible with servo's and cylinders.
We may get overwhelmingly realistic 3D-prints of humans as well as 3D renders very soon however it will take many more years for the advancements in robotics to take place. Them most promising research (however there has been no news for years) is the use of vanadium dioxide strands which contract when stimulated electrically - many of these could easily be fitted into an animatronic. However today we are only as far as pneumatic air muscles (those elastic ones, not cylinders) which although light and powerful, still take a lot of space.


Edit: Oh cr@p this post is seven years old.

That's OK...we all were seven at one time! 

I like the prospect of the air actuated muscles for their quiet aspect but in terms of power, I'd have to see some real comparison to electric motors which have gotten quite a lot smaller and more powerful over the past (perhaps 7) years.

I'm also not sure how effective air muscles would be when tasked with carrying a substantial amount of weight. Asimo uses electric motors as do a vast number of larger robots and android types. Just saying....

[Ultron]

Well although pneumatics can be quiet, the compressor which is essential to them is always as loud as hell. So, motors still remain the most silent.

Looking at the power comparison, air muscles such as these http://cdn.instructables.com/F5Y/KDB5/FI24967N/F5YKDB5FI24967N.LARGE.jpg
Have better strength (or power, I do not know the unit) per unit weight then motors, which get very heavy. But as I said, they also need a powerfull compressor and although light, they are much bigger then the motors (for same overall power value).


Edit: read this instructable. Simply introduction to advantages and disadvantages while using these muscles. Also a demonstration of controlling them with an Arduino: http://www.instructables.com/id/Pneumatic-Muscles/

  I had watched a movie some time ago, think it was called " Cherry 2000 "  in which the government had made having sex so complex people resorted to using robots.   A person needed to replace parts for an older robot and had to go to the forbidden zone to get the parts,  so maybe we are moving in this direction. 
  Myself being interested in avatars for chatbot Hal have also noticed that adult game avatars have advanced much more rapidly than the normal mode avatars so it seems it's a matter of go to where the money is.  Enough said

robo love dolls.   gawwwd   jeeze  gets some social skills!!!

Imagine what some more average looking girls think when robot sex slaves take their position.

Ranch I believe that's a war we would not be able to fight...

And Ai had Gigolo Joe...among others.

Robot sex slaves? You might as well go buy a blow up doll. They do have robot sex dolls already that actually talk. Those that you found are just gloried blow up dolls that look better. However unless it breathes, gets warm and can snuggle i personally would not go for one. Plus it has to hold a better conversation then most chatbots.

[DemonRaven]

I have to wonder as well to why someone would want to just a have a sex slave. A slave has no real rights and is just there to amuse the person or do as the person wishes. That kind of relationship is very shallow and has no depth.

[DemonRaven]

But if you have the cash and really do not want a real person to talk to mind you they are not going to feel warm like a person here are the links for the real ones. How do i know? I am fan of robots of all kinds. I also read alot on the internet.

this one just moves no talking

This one can carry on a conversation

[ranch vermin]

Eventually I see a problem here tho...

[DemonRaven]

With who or what? I could care less what you do. I just know that from experience with virtual worlds with real humans to talk to and with chatbot and robots that nothing takes the place of living breathing human in the same room as you to be with. So if that is your thing be my guest i could care less.

They seem to be popular in japan maybe it would be a new way for population control loll.
