Actroid, creepy robot receptionist

[504jec]

She is saying "why the hell you me what's my favorite color you worrying about what's on that buger king menu

[JennuYasha]

I can't believe it had an answer for that

[Sparkz1607]

Familiarity is supposed to be higher than human likeness. We judge whether something is human based on how it ACTS, not how it LOOKS. When familiarity dips below human likeness, that's the Uncanny Valley. It's when you see something that looks human.... but everything it does and says is obviously forged and not-human. Like when an android smiles. YOU KNOW THAT SMILE IS FAKE.

The "this isn't right..." feeling is the Uncanny Valley :o

[tokyocheesesteak]

Isn't Japan struggling with unemployment right now, like much of the rest of the world? If they can't employ all their real people, why would they want to build fake ones to take whatever jobs are left?

[EyeMaske]

@tokyocheesesteak Lol No. It's Japan.

[madamerotten]

@tokyocheesesteak It probably takes thousands of employed people to build the robots.

[xoxoVittixoxo]

well she didn't help them at all but at least we know her favourite colour is green :3

[howardwood888]

Nooooo! Robots are going to kick our asses some day!!! We need to kill the programmers! =p

[Vortex845]

Human receptionists are much cheaper and don't have preloaded answers and the biggest difference is that humans aren't so fucking creepy!

[cormano64]

@Vortex845 Most of the time, anyway.

[nickyg]

@Vortex845 That's debatable.

[ravecresanin]

WAIT A MINUTE!! This is my job you bitch!

[dinosaurjerk]

please! be my japanese gf !_!

[LazersFromJimmy]

Gimmicky rubbish like this is giving Japanese engineering a bad name

[PaperPlanes4138]

whoa! its amazing! did she just say she likes green??

[BlowingUpStars]

yeah

i love green hahaha

[Dreamdarknesstechno]

i hate these robots

if i see one its going down!!!

[PuppetStrings8790]

well we know her favourite color is green =D (Midori=green in japanese. It's said close to the end.)

[JM2X4]

woa creepy voice!

[Nightwolf9SS]

There's a new and improved version of this robot, Actroid DER3, there are videos with it on youtube.

[Membrane556]

You know maybe we should start working on battlestars and vipers but when the cylon war comes don't make peace with the SOBs instead exterminate them.

[joebbi]

Yes. Militaries should start looking at designing some adaptive AIs to counter the cylon strategies. They can be very sneaky!

[TheDancingCookie]

When the robots all start the killing and maiming I'm going to be ready - who's with me?!

[Blink182link64]

Believe you me, it's coming! Ha! And I'm so ready!

[Utuber580]

@TheDancingCookie My name is John Connor and you are not alone

[assasinofdarkness92]

@TheDancingCookie im with robots. destroy all humans! all of you just like do crimes

[silen18]

that voice, (again) is too child like!

[sebastian2508]

you should come to japan man , THAT is the real voice that women have here, believe me!!

[nikylp]

or he should start listen to some jpop or watch some jap tv shows:o)

[chongchan]

緑

[Kat145]

lmao

i like every color, but right now i like the color green which looks the most natural/nature like

sry i directly translated off my head

not too good with english japanese translation..

japanese english translation is easier lmao =P

[mkkkproductions]

reminds me of chobits!

[nigieworld73]

Imagine these things in 20 years or so.

[avatardoly]

her favorite color is green?

[jicamagui01]

人間のような

人間のような

人間のような

いつも同じ言葉使ってる　＾＾

[japaneselilly]

だね。

[Soteniliene]

Green?

[Heavykani]

If they're planning on to do a receptionist, why do the robots have to look like humans? Why not to make a robot which actually speaks perfectly?

[3dDj]

wheres the entertainment in that, sure it saves millions of $ but pshhhh, its cool. lolol

[vulmann]

people would be more comfortable with a human-looking robot. for most people, the robots from I, Robot would be deemed more "human", "approachable", "nice" or "friendly" than the Machines of the Matrix (the tentacled Sentinels). :)

[solslasher]

unfortunately programming language hasn't caught up with the mechanics. we've got these beautiful robots that are stupid as shit. i'll bet that's going to be a trend for a while. we'll have exponentially more realistic robots with disproportionately poor social and interaction skills.

[ppullz]

LOL I think the technology is right on point. most humans move around well but have poor social and interaction skills. These robots seem as real as some people in my neighborhood.

[Starlababy]

they seem fine, but they all look the same to me.

[rapazn]

no offense but woww some tim , Japanese pplz inventin unneccesei things

[iSweetie1]

where is a video in english?

[Khervy]

we are under attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Depotmaster]

Maybe they will be cheaper in Japan. But in the normal world with low wages people are still the cheaper solution.

[anh67]

People make androids to let them do the crappy jobs and save money without having to pay them with salary

[PhantomReloadedProd]

or fuck.

[clintzombie]

Haha!

[bumblechicken69]

Most of them work at Walmart.

[pimpinnevaslipin]

lol so far looking at most of the videos about Androids on here. . i think news anchors and receptionists jobs in the near future will be " on the line ". . lol

it looks like thats the first job markets there are going to be replaced by these

[Atheiossupremos]

damn... it looks so real (except for the face)

[mastela88]

yeh the clothes looks authentic and the glass window looks really well made too , but who is the guy shes talking too, havnt seen him before, maybe hes high or sumthing

[mastela88]

oh, and if you look closely through the entire video you can clearly see that there are more than one robot, in fact, there are 3 identical robots helping eachoter. This is obviously fake.

[KileyWiley]

it's a mirror stupid. pay attention and look close to the other robots, they reflect what the real one does. it's not fake.

[Atheiossupremos]

i ment with gestures, they show very realistic, human gestures.

[chashek]

I'm having trouble telling whether you're joking, or whether you're just stupid =.="

[ShadowSoldior]

I Robot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[forever2cool]

Oh fuck, watch the world turn into a Total Recall movie!.

I'm moving to the Jungle.

[HarukaDream]

XXXXXD

[muddyduck64]

If you did not catch that...The droid was motioning with her hands and informing the guy at the desk that it was her union break time and that his question would have to wait

[Depotmaster]

I think African and Polish people do all the jobs much better then robots. We human are great!

[sometimesidothings]

lol

[therealepsilontim]

rascism...

[TiikerinKarva]

You can't say racism. It's speciesm

[SartaySimon]

hahahahaahaha speciesm

[maikeru01]

At the moment she likes green.

[niltomega]

I want one to slap around, and have sex with.

[marshallspikebanana]

[morbidtwo]

What's so creepy about androids. When they make better ones I'll buy myself an android wife.

[chesedchesed]

NOOOOO!!!!　why　Stop in the middle of the conversation!!　I want to hear more!!

[Chongyiaher]

She didn't finish!

[kioku3]

[latheiere1]

[Lm3ntz]

AARGH CREEPY

[Supenmanu]

[DementedDolphin]

[miraoister]

[MyTrueSelf]

not really...there are tons of jobs Humans still do...and not many robots have been created to do all the things we do...

[blackdog2626]

Yo miraoister. I don't mind you hatin' on machines. But I do mind you hatin' on as africans. So if you don't have anything that is besides racism, well then...SHUT THE F*CK UP, FAGGOT!

[mryuca]

[LazersFromJimmy]

he can be racist if you're allowed to be homophobic

[blackdog2626]

Say what, Lazers?!

[LazersFromJimmy]

you can't pretend to have misheard me if where typing messages! What I am doing is pointing out the unacceptability of homophobia AND racism in the modern sophisticated world.

[GoAngel14]

Exactly!

[arshdeep125]
