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.

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 certainly wish I hadn't stumbled across this info.
I'm sure the young lady who portrays Flo feels the same way.

Female Space Robot Learns to Move Like a Human.

Or you could just get a human to move about in your female space.

If someday such an oddity were to “join NASA”, you can be sure that, with Obama in office, the Robot will be homosexual and.... Black.

Gadzooks! Haven't thought about that 1969 hit since... well, since 1969!

But for all that don't recall the lyrics... here they are:

In the year 2525, if man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today-- [Actually by 3000, everything you think, do and say... is in a good New New York very dry martini!]

In the year 4545 You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to chew Nobody’s gonna look at you

In the year 5555 Your arms hangin’ limp at your sides Your legs got nothin’ to do Some machine's doin’ that for you

In the year 6565 You won't need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510 If God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say “Guess it's time for the Judgement Day”

In the year 8510 God is gonna shake His mighty head He'll either say, “I'm pleased where man has been” Or tear it down, and start again

In the year 9595 I'm kinda wonderin’ if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

Re: Ping me when they field the Cherry 2000

Sorry, NonV, but Bendy paid for me to now be programmed to be his... for the first 1,000 years.

Sorry, NonV-- But you gotta strike... when the iron is hot!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ben-- But sometimes the real thing just ain't available, yet... a half cluster lizard and half renegade love slave will fill the bill!

if they ever send me into orbit, I want to go up with the real thing is BenLurkin's comment, not mine... but Sulu has an answer to you question: "What if they're all like Sally Ride?"

If they are all like Sally Ride's brother... I'm you man!

Re: How much?

If you have to ask, doug... you cannot afford one!

But, doggie, Bendy did say... you could afford to pick up his bar tab and leave a very generous tip--
