Gwardinen Posted May 3, 2012 It's the "hand" at the back of the head that frightens me. Quite apart from the obvious neck snapping possibility, what hidden mind control chips could it be installing in the spine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brannigan Posted May 3, 2012 on the upside, cyber-enhanced massages are probably amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted May 4, 2012 Also, Russian accent appear much fake! Fake or not, that guy's been shooting guns on YouTube for ages. A friend of mine was following him for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raff Posted May 10, 2012 They could do more with the 'fear' emotion, perhaps drawing inspiration from the ketchup robot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laxan Posted May 10, 2012 Ok, you win this thread. That is the worst thing. I wonder how much funding they got for that thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted May 10, 2012 I wonder how much funding they got for that thing... Not enough apparently. They have already set up a kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/uec-tokyo/buttemotion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laxan Posted June 7, 2012 That robot just sounds so goddamn smug about your mortality. If this were a horror film it would grow to love the death of humans and eventually that gentle hand rubbing motion would become a strangling motion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
