Global statistics partially confirmed that, chalking up one divorce for every two marriages. Scholars offer all kinds of explanations, social, psychological, economic etc … But the truth could be simpler, if about half of all married couples later choose to break their union then perhaps this is just the way it works, take an average man with traditional values, what can his wife give him, the most obvious answer is: her love.
In all aspects of life, but love is unreliable, today it’s here and tomorrow it’s not. He might have done something to upset her, or she has a headache, or going out for dinner, doesn’t feel like the right thing to do at the moment, but then what’s the point of living together? sometimes even buying a robot seems to make more sense.
Like this one, this is Harmony. In ain’t she a doll nope, she ain’t.
Harmony AI
Harmony can change her facial expression, move her lips and blink. More importantly, she has brains, the manufacturer guarantees that. Harmonies A.I. is self-learning, this robotic gal is able to keep a conversation not unlike Siri, in addition Harmony remembers everything she has been told and can use this information during the conversation. No not in the sense of everything you say will be used against you, Harmony just remembers what you like and what you’re interested in and records everything important to you, so a man who won’t scrimp on this automaton with a $10,000 price tag will get more than just a sex toy. He will get a considerate listener and companion.
Harmony will never interrupt him, never bother him with her own problems, never get into a fight or chide him, No! is she likely to have any girlfriends? so in secrets, we’ll be pretty much safe.
The Assessor of robotic companions commonly known as Brick Dollbanger, who tested Harmony says that he still misses her. This cyber girl makes a wonderful companion and not just a companion when things get more intimate, Harmony does equally great and if you’re thinking about your average rubber doll from the sex shop down the block, please know that’s disgusting forget it. Harmony is not like that at all, she acts just like a living breathing girl, she trembles moans and fully responds to her partner’s actions, sophisticated sensors let Harmony actually see the person track his movements and play along. Harmony is as open-minded and emotionally stable as can be and she is incapable of having a headache, is that cool or what?!
Meet Azuma hikari
Of course married life is much more than just sex. Sometimes people want to talk, laughs or watch a movie together. Specifically for bored loners, Japanese developers came up with a device called Gatebox . Essentially this is another robot, but a virtual one, Meet Azuma hikari a slim girl with long legs and luxurious blue hair. She is all about short skirts, sweet smiles and graceful moves. Although, only within the operating zone of the device Azuma is a hologram. The developers claim that their virtual girl is perfect, she can listen to you and keep a conversation tell you the latest joke, or breaking political news. If you connect a Azuma to a smart phone, she will become an excellent housekeeper. Let your virtual wife know that you’re coming home from work and she’ll draw a hot bath, warm up dinner in the microwave and make coffee.
Azuma is capable of learning
The longer you communicate with her, the more she knows and understands. She can distinguish between different human emotions and act supportively of her human when she is sad. Oh! and talking is not the only way to communicate with Azuma, she can read text messages and respond meaningfully; for instance if you text I’ll be home soon the robot will reply I missed you can’t wait, instead of giving you a grocery shopping list.
Azuma a sweet girl and will get on her human if he forgets to pick up bacon and milk, speaking and listening are not this virtual beauty’s only skills.
Thanks to a system of cameras and sensors, Azuma has an excellent vision and can identify her humans face, track his movements around the house and even understand what he’s doing and not everything but ordinary everyday procedures at least, doesn’t that sound like the perfect wife.
Okay nobody is perfect! so yeah she’s small and translucent but for 3,500 bucks that’s a bargain and nevertheless.
Emotions and communication is just another part of family life, not all of it. A good human homemaker can cook dinner tidy up the house or give her husband a back rub, how do robots measure up to that? as a matter of fact quite impressively, they are ideal cleaners.
Robotic vacuums
Robotic vacuums have long become commonplace and more advanced models mop the floor as well, and they do it all without complaining or chiding humans as of today not a single robot has been reported to come to a man and say you know what I’ve been cleaning this house for a whole month enough is enough it’s your turn! washing machines and dishwashers are sold at any appliance store. Yeah, you’ll still need to sort your laundry for each runner, put the plates inside with your own hands.
For now technology can’t do everything, but once you’ve made the preparations it’s just one push of a button and voila! everyone can do that, as for robots they can even wash windows. This type of machine is similar to a robotic vacuum cleaner only instead of crawling back and forth on the floor, it clambers up and down the window glass using suckers. It can work in any weather even at sub-zero temperatures, and it’s not afraid of heights.
The robotic kitchen
Technology goes even beyond that, the robotic kitchen created by the Mole team for example can cook and cook well. Perhaps better than many homemakers, the kitchen skillful hands are capable of accomplishing many tasks, including cleaning and washing the ingredients, whipping, kneading etc… . The robot is as fast and accurate as an experienced chef, and this is not an exaggeration!
Since it’s built to reproduce the movements of Tim Anderson a professional chef and the winner of the BBC MasterChef title, the robotic kitchen can cook a variety of dishes at an impressive speed, for example seafood cream soup takes only half an hour, how many humans could prepare a restaurant level soup that fast? the robot is able to use common kitchen appliances such as ovens, mixers, blenders, meat grinders etc…, and downloads recipes from the internet.
In the future the developers want to teach the robotic kitchen to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher and take food out of the refrigerator. Professional chefs are skeptical of the robot because the poor fella is incapable of making good sushi!
It does seem sort of disappointing. It can cook meat dishes, pastas, soups and even rolls. But no sushi, but we should forgive the contraption for this small shortcoming. After all 90% of homemakers don’t make sushi either and somehow their families survive.
Another task robots do well is massages, we’re not talking about a simple background, no! the robot Emma does a full-fledged therapeutic massage, first the user sets the options on a touchscreen, parts of the body and areas, light, deep, tissue and so on.
Robotic massages Emma
Emma accepts the instructions finds the specified spots by using its sensors and proceeds to work. After scanning the patient’s body and evaluating the stiffness of joints and muscles, Emma’s A.I. Determine the most effective degree of intensity. But even then the robot doesn’t just blindly perform the task. But constantly assesses the patient’s reaction. If the patient experiences discomfort Emma adjusts its strokes to a gentler setting.
Robotic massages feel very similar to the ones done by humans. Emma’s manipulators are made of silicone and shaped after a human hand. There’s even a thumb! So far Emma can only do a back or calf massage. If you have any lewd thoughts keep them to yourself, Emma’s not that kind of girl all-in-all looks like today.
There’s no practical need for human companions or assistants around the house robots can do almost everything only they don’t get tired. They also don’t complain, don’t leave you for someone else. The best part is robots would never invite their mother for a month-long visit! praise the progress.
Of course life is not that simple, human flaws don’t make robots better companions.
Our human partners can be far from ideal, but they have their moments as for their bad mood last night or a few extra pounds around the waist nobody’s perfect and then there’s that old thing called love. According to the statistics 70% of families stayed together until old age and they’re happy but if it still doesn’t work out, well now you know what to do.
