Nobuhiro Takahashi called his creation "Shiri" which means "butt" in Japanese. Shiri responds with different emotions to different human touches.
The inventor hopes to use the prototype to
develop responses that can be applied to other parts of a robot's body,
in particular the face, to help with non-verbal communication. He decided to develop his technology with a bottom because its movements are large and make it easier to convey
emotion.
"I wanted to try and use a butt to reflect emotions -
fear, joy and relaxation," he explained.
To get a robot to show fear, Takahashi spanks it.
"Fear is a very human - very living - emotion, so it's
expressed with force, with a spank." The robot bottom responds by quivering. A
slow wobble is the sign for relaxation, while a
gentle stroke causes clenches that signal pleasure.
See for yourself. It's pretty amazing!

Always something interesting and new to read about here. Have a good Tuesday.
A predetermined reaction... not exactly those of a spanked person who enjoys TTWD.
A interesting find, but I would call this scientist a fail
real bottoms upRed
I am amazed at what you are able to find online. Thanks Hermione.

SNP - I do my best!
Red - Maybe he's a Fail, but his mind is in the right place.
Joey - Me too!
Young Lady - Extremely!
Ronnie - Not convinced that she enjoys a spanking?
Sunnygirl - What will they think of next?
TA - Japanese. I can see it being a big seller for would-be spankers.
Hugs,
Hermione
mmm I can see it doing a rather interesting trade in the fetish shops.
I find that fascinating and amazing. I love hearing about new technologies. I'm still hoping they figure out how to put a brain into a robot so I can leave for ever as a cyborg. ;)
that's crazy!
And the shape of the bottom - yummy.
Interesting, but the noise it makes is not exactly when I'm looking to hear when i give a spanking :).
TA - I can too. There'll be a lineup!
fB - There's an idea.
Reneerose - He's thinking outside the box, anyway.
Kitty - It's just right for smacking.
Mick - It should say "Ouch!"
Hugs,
Hermione
