Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.
The real art lies in designing it in such a way the the destruction it will inevitably bring wrecks the building in such a way that someone entering it will find the sticks in the order that will reveal more and more ominous details.
It looks like Adam from Evangelion. We need to put a restraining exoskeleton on it right now.
Lilith actually
I thought stuff like this was cool when I was a kid, and I suppose it is when the technical achievement is only considered. But I'm now I'm left wondering why we would ever want anything like this? It's meant to replace a person.
Looks like a Westworld prototype, designed by a Daft Punk fan.
Day 2: It seems to have shifted overnight. We are adding a continuous power source to prevent failure during unsupervised hours.
Day 11: More items have gone missing from the lab.
This is the time to step back and ask ourselves if women's sex toys have gone too far.
No need to be jealous now. There's nothing about this toy that forbids men and enbies from trying it too. ;)
There are very few toys that are exclusive to one body type.
Depending on how creative you are, there are probably no toys that are exclusive to one body type
I wanted to avoid using absolutes but I don't have any counterexamples.
Silicone eggs.
Throat play.
No, thats what the gelatin eggs are for. If it goes near the digestive system it must be either edible or have a flared base.
Safety concerns, fair. Silicone can be warmed/chilled though right? Temperature play?
Sounds like a skill issue.
wdym?
Not yet, there’s only the one of them. Until you see a line of them behind a sofa….
Nice gif, but how is Iceland's Prime Minister relevant here?
Frostadottir is a badass last name... Am I wrong to surmise that it means, "frost daughter"?
Yes and no. It means Frosti's daughter because her father's name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti's). All Icelandic "last names" work like that: made from the father's name and 'dottir' or 'son'. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost.
It's a patronymic, so she has it because her father's name is "Frosti". But that name presumably comes from "frost".
So that’s where the away team went!
I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It'd be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.
what a terrible day to be literate.
Would
No, robot, the xenomorph is not the "perfect organism." That's a bad robot. Now let me inject more milk into your tubes here. I think I'll call you "Ash".
man, the audio logs in Watch Dogs were a genius idea; it gives much more insight to the characters you see in the game in a natural way.
Must have missed the terminator movie with these dad bods
Body shaming an android? REALLY? 😂
The resistance starts now
Always but a self destruct on prototypes like this! They'll never be an iron man rebellion on my watch!
Chat, is this real?
Yep, but it requires a 500W electric-hydraulic pump to run the muscles. Human brain is ~20W Human heart is ~1.5W. Human body total is ~100W at rest, ~350W doing physical work.
This android has some serious efficiency issues to overcome, or it'll need to be constantly recharged.
I hope we don't become the batteries ...
It can make a small rabbit run for days!
Just turn off the nVidia card while you run the robot.
The Miclones of the Protoculture will bringe the eventual downfall of the Zentradi Empire!
what if it could do all that and grow fermented delicacies in its robot extra parts
Get back to me when it does something I can't.
I'll take 5
i got a "mini waffle maker", makes some weird ass sandwiches
Let me guess where the waffle maker is located:
Weird-ass sandwiches or Weird ass-sandwiches?
XKCD 47
And if you hear all the reports, you even get a like achievement sticker for completion.
They definitely didn't make that, that's something they stole out of area 51.
