Pole-Dancing Robots

[HardOCP News]

Dear robots, go back to taking over the world in other ways please. This is just creeping me out.

The sleek, white, life-sized humanoids, with camera-shaped lights as heads, gyrate suggestively to the music, provided by a third "DJ" robot, with a megaphone for a head, who bops around the stage in time to the beat.

Now it just becomes a question of if a fembot is superior to a real woman or not...Being married 13 years I can see some upsides...

 

[aL Mac]

Wait they said last year they had real dancers? I'd prefer those please... Seriously, they had "dancers" last year or real pole dancers? lol

 

[spaceman]

I must give a thumbs up for the lol factor here. Awesome marketing ploy.

Mexicans took their jerbs.

Eh I wouldn't call them robots. Celebration Station, Showbiz and Disney World had animatrons for nearly a half century now.

Use these bots for a remake of Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" video...

[Nasty_Savage]

Can't we get a cheap one to go to the fridge and get me a beer first?

It seems that Skynet has a fair amount of revisions to go before attempting for world domination.

I dunno guys, robots doing this kinda stuff is pretty neat. It's not like it's hard to put a soft skin and other features over them.

I wonder if robots will be used on the run-way for fashion, that wouldbe neat too

I was confused by it since the video is dated 12/25/08.

Those poor sexually exploited robots. I can't believe someone would do that to them.
