Mospeada Real Bike? Almost!

These dudes love the old series Mospeada (most US viewers will remember this one from Robotech chimera back in 80s) so they mod the bike to resemble the Mospeada famous suit as much as possible.

Their website

They using Suzuki B-King bike as base for their VISMOD. The site even show step by step fabrication for the bike.

Cheers.

Catwalk, Miss Roboto?

She introduced herself as “cybernetic human HRP-4C” at her first press conference, and charmed her audience just as any supermodel would. She smiled, struck seductive poses, and even made mistakes that her inventors attributed to nerves. Except that this head-turner is a fashion-bot, and she’ll make her catwalk debut in Tokyo on March 23.

Oh, there is always first time for everything and frankly speaking this kinda worries me. Where is humanity's place will be, if such idiosyncratic field like fashion catwalk dominated by robots like her/it? The fact I address the conception as "her" besides "it" is indicative of increasing blur between machine and person.

Damn Asimov. By the way, is this considered "moe"?

Project Aiko, Real life Chobits in making?

I stumbled upon this website by a Canadian who is constantly improving his android female named Aiko. What struck me is the android can react to touches according to its mood, she either can be affectionate or very snappy depending on where or how you touch her. The creator rely on donations to keep this rather interesting (or disturbing to some) project going.

Main link. Sometimes it received too many visitors that the website may not display properly. So be patient.
