Female Space Robot Learns to Move Like a Human
by InnovationNewsDaily Staff
Date: 24 July 2012 Time: 04:06 PM ET

A space robot with a female form could someday join NASA's humanoid robot in helping human astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

Germany's AILA robot has a female figure, a head molded into the shape of a modern female hairstyle, and large, dark eyes — a different look compared with the broad-shouldered torso and space helmet head of NASA's Robonaut 2. But both robots could have the right stuff to show how humans and robots can work together more efficiently in future space exploration.

Just go see Flobot at Progressive... and your dream will come true--

As Olivia and Amy Wong know very well, "Once you go bot... you NEVER go back!"

Electric Light Orchestra Yours Truly 2095 Lyrics

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind, this I just can’t believe
I sent a note across another plane
Maybe it’s all a game, but this I just can’t conceive.

Can you hear me?

I drive the very latest hovercar
I don’t know where you are
But I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an ibm.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

Shes only programmed to be very nice
But she’s as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear.

She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart stone
She has an i.q. of 1001
She has a jumpsuit on
And she’s also a telephone.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

Chorus:
Is that what you want? (is it what you want? )
Is it what you really want? (is it what you really want? )
Is that what you want? (is it what you want? )
Is it what you really want?

I realize that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged
But time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind
She knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know
For all she says: is that what you want?
Maybe one day I’ll feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface
Til then, I’ll leave her alone.

I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

Repeat chorus:

Is that what you want?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/electric+light+orchestra

I notice she doesn't have a mouth.
Does that mean she will never nag at me?

Okay, okay, big. We'll get her... a long 3 inch diameter Cast-Iron-American pipe!

You know, there is a community of guys inhabiting the seedy underbelly of the internet who actually get their rocks off over Flo from Progressive.

Yeah. I don’t get it either.

Could be worse, I guess. At least she's a she.

In years past I might have Googled that out of curiosity, but I've learned that there are a lot of things I just don't want to know, and definitely don't want to see.

I just did a google image search on "sex dolls." Unbelievable, I had no idea. I can't imagine the horrible things people will practice on them, then to take it out on a real human being.

Stop the planet; they want to get off.
