Roxxxy and Aiko

This is not a sexual post, but I was thinking of Roxxxy's on the fly customizable programming.
Although this is meant for sexual preference, I was thinking it could be reprogrammed for other things and adapted to a more user friendly BRAINS software (useful in advertizing, teaching, and theater).
The hardware would have to be as portable as a radio, which means it would be dumbed down a little.
For instance there is no need to be a weather man other than "It's raining and hailing," or "it's snowing and freezing".

Le, of course it won't be an immediate need, but I think it would be good for a "to do" list.
What do you think of this?
Too much trouble?

Hi

Not sure what you mean by Roxxxy ?/
Can you explain?

Roxxxy is (supposable) the first sex doll/robot.
She comes with real time customizable programming for user customized sexual preferences without stopping sexual pleasure to change the settings, plus you can have a conversation with her.
Her creator says Roxxxy is meant as a companion you can have sex with, not a sex doll who is also a companion.
He also says the triple x in her name is just for marketing purposes, but then why does she look like the typical inflatable sex doll, complete with "O" shape mouth ready for something to go in it?

I was thinking many people would use and even brag about using a sex doll or sex robot, but wouldn't people be afraid to admit he owns his own girlfriend in a romantic manner?
No offense to you.

Zoltan (man who created a girlfriend and married it) was teased mercilessly about it.
He eventually closed his site in embarrassment, saving face by saying there is too much competition.

I wonder is this subject related to project Aiko caus it totally creeps me out, I don't get your first post aswell your second was this forum not about building a substitute maid androids but somehow this sexbot thing or the indirect way of asciociating this project aside it gives a bad taste to the whole subject. ]

Clearify caus I don't know what to make off this. First post you talk about a roxxxy sexbot thing then you insult someone continue with going on about how people living being wed with an inflatable doll got pointed an outcast of society ''Yah thats dumb''. In your second post you make it even worsth you seriously go into the subject and make an ''what if'' from it, a way of saying ''You could do this men''. I've read most of your posting and your going on and on about the sexdoll thing, which gets denied after completely.

Dude what do you want be honest.

Is project Aiko another way to turn something interesting into a smudge or what.

Why is it people like you always have to make something out of nothing, and blame the person for something he hasn't done?
The second post was meant only to answer Le Trung's question describing what Roxxxy is.
I also questioned the maker's motives just as the reporter did in the article.
The reference to Zoltan was in direct relation to this project and what Aiko stands for, a robot girlfriend/wife.

At no point did I insult Le in either post, although it was speculated how a mass produced Aiko might sell.
My original point was the BRAINS software getting an upgrade to real time voice recognition remote control status from programming borrowed from Roxxxy.

The subject of Roxxxy as a sex doll was brought up before I even posted this.
The day after my first post in this thread, Le responded to the other thread.

I agree slightly with what you're saying, Not with the picture used to represent new functionality to Aiko. What I've read is that Mr. Le trung is building a sort off maid android a rebuild of a system with the B.R.I.A.N.S software as an substitute A.I.

However must there be an association from a system part off an sex bot called ''Roxxxy'' as an addition for more functionality to Aiko YuCK.
Its borrowing and crossbreeding with something inferior and no class.

For instance this if you had an brand new Ferrari and found out it has Volkswagen part in it would you not be disgusted with the fake and image that you had a sports car of high class reduced to a sham.

If apple would build vibrators would any one have the same awe and image feel they have off the brand.
Because off the android/robot factor U all talk about it does not mean intercourse should be optional it is not represented,Even in your former post of robot rights where they might choose which is hardly because of ''It is a product'' factor and software does not concern about it.

But I do also agree with you guy's that having a dream machine could fulfill some of the wishes virtually without harm thats a safe though for a well defined brand broad to utilize for any age.

Look at it this way, when Le made Aiko sing for the first time (and the speaking voice of V2), he used Volcaloid, which is more puppetry than robotic, but did anyone think any less of her?

Aiko already has real time capabilities, but without the software to use it.
Roxxxy has real time software in remote control form.
Why can't Le put these parts together without argument?

My reference to free association in the robot rights thread was trying to determine the best set of rules for living.
How would you like to be told who to be friends with, date, marry, and yes, have sex with?

So let me see if I get this straight, you are saying if it would be possible to take the best from each program and merge them into one program and put it into Aiko?

I don’t know but I never seen Roxxxy move any part of her body like an arm, leg, head, or mouth.

So what is it about the Roxxxy programming that you like Arti?

Her mouth is fixed that's true, but her arms, legs, head, and all jointed parts move (can be reprogramed as movie double).
I was thinking in terms of the consumer, using the BRAINS software as easily as you would a voice activated laptop.

Ok, but in all the video's I've seen Roxxxy just sits there and she doesn't move her arms, legs or head on her own. I know the guy said she has motors, servos, circuit boards and sensors, but I think there being used for thing other then the her joints. Most of the video's I seen are from youtube. Do you have any other links showing her moving her joints?

I agree with the idea of having the software as user friendly as possible. As for voice-activated commands doesn’t Aiko already have that, I mean Le asks her what an item is and she tells him? So I don’t think it would be too hard to add a voice-activated command to say change personalities.

I see Le having certain voice commands, but also some were along the line having to plug a monitor, keyboard and mouse into her to access the software perhaps having an administrator account with password protection and a user account for the customer. The user account could be more user friendly were as the administrator account could access the whole program.

As for the weather report portion Le could change the phrasing to say “the weather is calling for rain today you should carry an umbrella” or some thing like that. That is if Le wants to and I’m not looking at it to happen right away.

So Arti what’s your definition of real time customizable program just so I know were your coming from?

Roxxxy is a fail.
This thing has more Artificial Intelligence than Roxxxy : http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/02/02/how-to-make-a-usb-ona-hole-asuka-version/ (watch the video)

Actually, Aiko isn't fully voice activated yet.
Real time to me means needs no programming.
At present the BRAINS software needs tweaking every so often.

I really haven't seen Roxxxy's videos yet to tell you the truth.
I'm only going by the articles I've read.
One article specifically noted that she walked across the room, bending her knees like Asimo, but moving joints more like an ostrich, and even crossed her legs during a conversation without prompting.

but moving joints more like an ostrich

I think a horse would be more accurate.

I read that she exhibits different personalities and responds to touch and that she cannot walk - and everyone can see on the videos that this is true - she is like retarded.
The articles you read were probably fail or fake. Do you still know the sources ?

Ok I've looked at about a dozen videos of Roxxxy and not once did I see her walk or cross her legs or even move her arms. I was wondering where you were getting the info on her from now I under stand you have been reading it. I'm kind of at the point were I take things with a grain of salt, I have to see it before I believe it and I've seen her walk or even move her arms. I think it's kind of odd that if she were able to move like you say that the guy demonstrating her would have shown this in the video.

Real time to me means needs no programming.

I don't know if that's possible with an android as new hardware is added you have to tweak and add to the software. I worked for a computer company called PCS Technologies installing NCR towers, my friend worked on the programming side and he was always tweaking the programs.

I've just recently read about it, but I've also seen videos.
It's a robot made solely for dancing (cute yellow plastic snowman (2 balls).
He moves at random to the music without prompting from a programmer or even a remote control.

Wait, I'll check.

It seems you're right:

Roxxxy’s different personalities
Roxxxy, the sex robot, comes with five different personalities; Wild Wendy is outgoing while Frigid Farrah is reserved. A naïve personality called Mature Martha has “matriarchal kind of caring”, while S & M Susan is very adventurous.

“She knows exactly what you like. If you like Porsches, she likes Porsches. If you like soccer, she likes soccer. Depending on your mood, one can assign the robot different personalities and the robot will accordingly respond.

For example, if you hold Mature Martha’s hand she may say “I love holding hands,” whereas if you touch Frigid Farrah’s hand she may say “What are you going to do with that hand?” said Hines.

The one they didn't mention is just labeled YOUNG.
This persona is around 16, and is specially tailored just for pedophiles.
This DIY technique reminds me of the Furby fad in the 90s.

Ok it is possible for limited function robots like milling machines, robots that weld car and ones that do the same function over and over.

Now Le is building an android that has multifunction, it’s like chaining 20 milling machines together. You have servos and motors that need periodic adjustments. Plus what happens when Aiko fills up her hard drive? I was thinking that he might have one just for the Brains software and OS plus 2 or 3 more for data storage. Plus if you use Windows as an OS you’re going to need an antivirus software for her to logon to the Internet to get that weather report. Who’s going to load it and what happens when the license ends in a year or so? The only way I see around that may be to use Linux or build your own OS. If your accessing the Internet, what happens if the web site you’re accessing changes format?

I see an endless amount of programming and tweaking. Sorry

Arti not to put you down or any thing, but did you happen to read in the first link were it says and I quote.

From www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/10/roxxxy-sex-robot-photo-wo_n_417976.html
But it can't move on its own, not even to turn its head or move its lips. The sound comes out of an internal loudspeaker.

I’ll give you is, she does have a pretty good voice synthesizer.

As for the different personalities it would be cool if she could change them on her own. Say may be by the use of a laser thermometer to measure you body heat and the tone in your voice.

I did read that, and it was kinda my point anyway.
The other reporter either lied or got his facts mixed up.
Let's just say he exaggerated a bit.

I think ''R'' to call it for the sake of making no advertisement and link through search reference from here, Is plain plagiarism its everything Aiko should not be and used to the ''limited'' effort ''I'm just saying''. Money spend for some enhancement of functionality does not even bring it close. Yeah it could have that voice synthesizer but was it self build, Remember Aiko's code is 100% self written. ''R'' may have impressive software that money can buy but thats all to it, Its not an android its an impressive zombie doll.

A sex doll that speaks is fine, but when I found out about this I was a little creeped out.
The reporter says the inventor's girlfriend (that is a "friend" who's a girl) was diagnosed as having cancer.
When he found out about it, he worked on this project to cheer her up (not intensionally making a sex robot he could sell), but when he knew for sure she was dying, he wanted to give the robot voice and personality just like his friend as a tribute to (or memorial of) her life before she got cancer.

He said she was a freak in the bedroom and liked erotic role play, but as an after death tribute, would that be the first thing on your mind?
The next point is selling the robot.
If I owned a gravestone with my girlfriend's name carved on it, I certainly wouldn't wanna sell it or even give it away, and why wouldn't he make her arms and legs move on their own before showcasing it?
