Anton Channing :: Blog :: Realdolls or The Perfect Woman?

June 27, 2008

Hmm, what will the Japanese come up with next?

When I first heard about Realdolls a few years back, I figured it would only be a matter of time before they started putting robotics in them.  Well, as far as I know they still haven't, but I have just heard about AI Robotics, a Japanese company that has started to make androids.

They are currently taking pre-orders for Perfect Woman, (I wonder how much feminist backlash they will face?) a female android that can apparently be taught to clean and cook (would you trust it?)  Can they be taught to kill? (Scary prospect).  I don't know if Perfect Woman has the same kind of sex enabled technology as Realdoll, but if it doesn't, its only going to be a matter of time before the two technologies meet...

Aside from the films Stepford Wives, Bladerunner and AI coming up in my head as I think where this is heading, I'm also thinking of the magical possibilities of these things.  If they really can clean and cook and perform other household chores, then I can see it won't be long before every household has one, or two.  Thoughts of the Matrix and Terminator also come to mind at this point.

But by the time they are in mass production, using them as a physical basis to house servitor spirits may become and attractive prospect.  After all, the ability to build slave lifeforms that did the sorcerors bidding was largely what the creation of homunculi was all about.

One last thing, for the heterosexual woman and gay men of you, apparently a male version of the android will also be available soon.  I wonder if they'll make it look like Data.  I dare say some will dress them up that way if they can... Wink
