Man builds own robot girlfriend!

I wonder what his parents thought of him during all of this.

I mean he's buying robot parts, fabricating latex bodies, designing and testing things, he's "talking" to this girl and all of that, taking her to shows, I mean his parents have to be burying their heads in shame over their loser son.

This is like the creepy "RealDoll" thing times 100. Jesus Christ, he could have hired a roomful of hookers for the money he spent on that thing. There are better ways for desperate people to get laid.

But then he would have had to be brave enough to interact with actual, living people. Sounds like he might have some problems with that, methinks.

Is this guy's name Jerry Espenson?

 

[Cutter John]

Pretty obvious he just took one of these and added some bits.

Link NSFW.


Sad part is, I'm 46 and nearly in the same state as this guy (glances at his collection of anime girl figurines next to his desk).

The site is unreadable. I take it they're Japanese-centric Real Dolls?

She looks like a bit too childlike.

Yeah, my first thought was that she (should I really be calling it "she"?) looked like she was 12. My second thought was that he probably could have gotten an apartment by himself for $20,000 instead of living with his parents.

He probably could've bought himself a mail-order bride for $20,000.

Ack sorry. Guess you need some fancy IE plug-in to view it.

But yeah. This photo pretty much gets the point across. (hopes its viewable)

^ on the 9th day of Christmas my true love sent to me ...

 

[Mallory]

All I can say is that I'm glad this guy isn't one of my neighbors. His obsession is more than a little disturbing.

I personally am waiting for my Lucy Lui-Bot.

Toronto?

 

[broberfett]

Yeah, but who will nag at him?

 

[Trekker4747]

She will. You know the usual stuff, "Recharge my batteries", "I need you to apply the protectant to my rubber skin", "aren't you ever going to get around to giving me the ability to walk", stuff like that.

 

[wamdue]

Yeah, but who will nag at him?

im sure he will find a woman to nag at him, its not something a guy has to look hard to find.

 

[Michael_One]

If I were to build one I'd want it to look like Summer Glau...

 

[Lindley]

Church: So how're you doing, Caboose? Are you following any of this whatsoever?
Caboose: I think so... That guy Tex is really a robot, and you're his boyfriend. So that makes you... a gay robot.

[Gryffindorian]

Wow, an actual robot. Impressive. She's actually cute. No wonder she looks Asian; her maker is, too. Beats an inflatable life-size doll. The only thing missing is the mouthpiece/insertion point.
