Ahmedinejad Unveils Iranian Humanoid Robot

I think perfecting robots that can actually do vital work should be done before making human like robots that will most obviously be used for sexbots or other stupid human interests rather than actual practical and beneficial needs.

The human body is good in design for us because we have complex brains to control them, making a robot to do that will take forever.

Instead, we should create robots that have 3 or four legs and 2 main arms and maybe a third and forth for fine detailed work, then make them compact and versatile so they can help scientists or medical staff.

This would be easier and then work up to something more complex and human like later on based off of data from earlier robots.

At some point we will develop them to think more independently or have them create them selfs based on particular functions. When they get good at that, we can then have them design a humanoid type.

Let them design the hardware, then we go in, and hopefully by then,we can supply the software.

I think the problem is that we have a hard time designing them together. You cant really make software to control something without knowing what it is it has to control, so have robots design it first based of of current information, then we design the software to run it.

Maybe I got it all wrong, oh well.

"Sorina 2 has a superficial similarity to Honda's Asimo."

Thats superficial similarity?

"It is capable of 'carrying out sensitive tasks in different situations,' a vague but captivating promise."

Must be easily captivated.

It never ceases to amaze me how much a little man complex that Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has. Now he has to create robots to pad his own image. Next up is nukes. Followed immediately by Armageddon when Israel nukes Iran out of existence.

Unfortunately, the robot was buried and stoned to pieces when Ahmedinejad learned it was really a female robot.

Wow...Now we got a new knock-off HONDA humanoid robot. And I'm really wondering what kind of "sensitive tasks" it can do, assembling Nukes?

By the looks of it, the most sensitive task it will accomplish is touching it's fingers together, and even that's doubtable.

The 12th Imam is a robot!

I read where this robot is aware enough to refuse to ride the flying boat... or as the are called in Iran, the "blessed bullet magnet, sans muffler" or something like that.

Iran has always been behind the power curve, as far as technology goes. So the knock off the asimo, big deal, if they could develop robotic tech, with practical applications, or even manage simple task, then I would be impressed. The united states has already developed and tested Wings in Ground effect systems, and decided it was'nt worth the time really.

@Cdales- "Thats superficial similarity?" I thought the same thing, but i guess they mean literally superficial as in on the surface it looks just like it but underneath it's not at all similar.

seriously, nobody comments on why they both have penises?
