what's limiting us right now the most tech-wise when it

Uncanny valley would be almost impossible to avoid with a completely lifelike robot. Also no ones going to fund the necessary technologies required to make an android capable of fucking exactly like a human.

nothing is impossible if the human libido is what's powering the funding. think of the market potential here m8.

Fucking sluts is easier for too many people. All the wealthy nerds go to places like Florida during spring and summer to flirt with easy women who understand exactly what they're doing and let it happen. Its gross and hilarious

how is going to another state and then having to interact with another human being easier than just ordering a sex doll that can even beat up your former bully?

>>57243237
It would cost thousands of dollars, have no resale value, and be prone to mechanical errors.

prostitutes are cheap, and often more life-like

Let's run down the requirements to building a humanoid robot to begin with.

>Humanoid
Well, we can produce free-standing bi-pedal autonomous "robots" but their movements are limited by their structural rigidity. We don't have a reasonable way to simulate muscle tissue mechanically, and muscles are what keep us standing. Even if we could, we'd have to find a way to power these mechanical muscles without drawing insane amounts of energy to do so. Not to mention, we'd have to find a way to make all these materials in such a way where each leg doesn't weigh 200kg alone. Additionally, these new muscles have to be capable of being passively cooled, or liquid cooled (and if liquid cooled, that means we have to account for the GALLONS of fluid, copper, aluminum, tubing, pumps, reservoirs and more that are going to be in this machine too)
So we'd need to develop new ways to simulate human muscles that are light weight, energy efficient, and can be cooled either passively, or with a liquid cooling system that wouldn't add so much extra weight and energy draw as have to make the construction of the synthetic muscles even more difficult to accommodate the extra weight and energy draw.

Continuing in another post, because pleasure bots are so far out, you NEETS literally cannot comprehend it.

Batteries are shit atm, so energy supply is a big issue. This could be resolved with graphene in the near future.

Next big problem is heat management/cooling, but that's probably also manageable.

Uncanny Valley will be overcome when the rest is ready.

The biggest problem from my point of view is to perfectly replicate human movement. That shit is messy af and so much more complex than most people realize.

you'll probably see some half-decent mechanical ones in your lifetime, but genetic engineering is what's going to make them highest possible caliber in the long run.

you're basically describing a human. why not start with the human and go from there? we could literally have sex bots within fifty years if we did it like that.

I know why we don't, "muh spooks!1!!", but I think it's ridiculous that we are trying to build up to something when it's easier to build down from something else that already exists.

You realize we could literally just grow muscles bonded to lightweight titanium "skeletons" and just have it be a bio-robot, basically a human body but without a real brain and a lot tougher and easier to swap out parts for.

Oh man. This is where the shit really hits the fan. Today's autonomous robots with anything resembling a decent "run time" have sooooo much of their overall weight caught up in batteries, it's not even remotely funny. Seriously, one time when you're at Home Depot or somewhere, pickup one of those "survivalist pack" boxes of batteries. Even with "high efficiency" lithium cells, a half-meter cubed box of batteries could weigh >277kg. To be fair, that's a shit ton of Lithium Ion Cells (5962.5 as the math works out). But it's also an entirely unreasonable weight for a bipedal human. Each cell, on average, weighs ~44g and can provide 2400maH output. Meaning that if stored in the robot, for it to move, it also has to move the weight of those batteries. NASA had to tackle a similar issue when launching shit into orbit, as every additional pound of fuel they needed to move the mission vessel into orbit, was a pound of fuel that also needed to be lifted as well with MORE fuel. The same would happen with this robot. As the power needs expand due to the muscle system, cooling, processing, sensors, and more, the more batteries it needs to maintain these systems. Which means more of these systems are needed to accommodate the additional batteries. In a space vehicle where several tons is not ideal, but acceptable, it's fine. For something that is meant to be in a 5th floor apartment, it's not even remotely acceptable, and power would be a massive limiting factor. As well, cooling all the power needed, as well.

Autonomy is getting another post after this.

Now we get into processing required by a robot. The ability to interpret what it senses and respond. The part that makes it a robot, and not a real doll. Machine vision is only just becoming integrated into AI these days in any reasonable capacity. We take our ability to comprehend our surroundings for granted. To you and me, we can see a chair, understand it's functions, uses, and more in a heartbeat. It takes machine vision so much more effort to understand anything more than the Depth per given increment of what it's seeing. Seriously, machine vision and AI integration is at its most fledgling status, right now. Most approaches are either entirely too complex for quick processing (needing to identify and separate objects by abstraction and dictionary values), or far too sloppy to work in real life (internal 3d rendering of the environment based on sensed data). A new or hybrid methodology is needed, and it needs to not require 2kw of processing power in the process. Because while you can stick some TitanX cards in a human body sized space, cooling them, powering them, and delivering data back and forth quickly is not easy at all when they're covered by cyberskin™
Which brings me around to how we interpret sensor data from this human body, which needs sensors every square cm to make good calls on movement, without needing several kw of processing and cooling. Currently, it's plain impossible to sample such a bevy of information a human body needs to remain mobile, at such a rate to remain mobile smoothly, without massive processing power.

By storing onboard power you are basically subjecting yourself to the tyranny of the rocket equation

Seems to me like it would be easier to try and get wireless energy to the robot. Overcome the power limits there and you can go on for as long as you like

(Just like how a spaceship with a solar sail is both millions of times more efficient *and* can keep travelling for as long as it likes, versus a traditional rocket)
