Hi, I found this Maetel robot:

It's simple but somehow interesting.
If you know an other anime style robot, post it.
I would like to see more anime style robots in the future

What if someone would build anime robot dolls like the life-size anime figures from paper-moon ? :

Imagine an otaku that would not need a dakimakura but would have his own asuka bot and could fall asleep next ho her wouldnt it be nice ...

This is an example how an "anime" robot should not look like or behave:
Freak robot fashion model ruins Hatsune Miku for everyone

Oh men thanks for the link that was funny as hell I could not stop laughing it was so an high pitch voice on the upper note really that is not how it should be done but funny listning to it .

Sounds like the original Miku Hatsune, so only the Sound Quality are bad. The only interessting in this video is the doll.

Here is the original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsusxNHpNak&fmt=18

Miku Hatsune is a virtual Character and her Voice is Computer generated (Vocaloid) from recorded real Voicesamples. For Readers here, that dont know it.

I found this funny japanese art style http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha_musume

( http://images.google.sk/images?hl=sk&source=hp&q=mecha+musume&btnG=Vyh%C4%BEad%C3%A1vanie+obr%C3%A1zkov&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=)
It is a combination of girls and military vehicles.
This is how weapons should look like
Some of the mecha musume "concepts" are interesting from the robotic point of view and it would be interesting to build or see such robots

I am actually a fan of HRP-4C.

Hi, I found this moving Dollfie robot.
The doll is called Alice

"I'll be back ~desu"

The guy calls himself ローゼン・ゼベット (Zebetto Rosen ?), what a nerd

The last one, I find it interesting yet freaky at the same time.
I saw one of them at the store, something about the eyes that I find it weird.
It remind me of the movie child play, chucky running around with weapon.

OS-tan is something similar to Mecha Musume. It is the combination of cute/moe anime girls and operating systems, mostly Windows.

( http://www.wired.com/culture/design/multimedia/2007/04/gallery_mascots?slide=10 )
It remembers me somehow on Chobits - os-tan could be a persocom in the style of the OS it runs on (at least no one would complain about the memory usage : )XP-tan is the best chick and she uses a lot of memory : )

Japanese Windows 7 has its own official "Nanami Madobe"-tan mascot:

a funny remix

More Win7 otaku videos at: https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7118909E481A17C9

Unfortunately the virtual anime girl isn't a part of the theme, it is fan created - but the geeks from Microsoft should think about it for a moment
The Nanami edition was only available for the first 7777 pre-orders in Japan - stupid Microsoft people, they should make an official Windows 7 Nanami Madobe edition available for everyone even with such a virtual character - it would be such a hit When she says "system error" you cannot be angry with her. Every geek, nerd or whatever would want one, anime fan or not ( They should pack a Nanami dakimakura with the Japanese edition, it would make otakus very happy ) The people at Microsoft are so slow, remember how long it took when they added tabs to Internet Explorer.

I think it would be great if your OS would have a personality. Then maybe it wouldn't be so frustrating to get error messages or something alike. The next step could be a Hand Maid May type robot that would help you with your OS and occasionally clean up your desk and keyboard

Or like Wowee's Chatterbots but in a look of a cute anime girl.

...something like Alice the virtual maid, but in real:

If Linux would get an official cute virtual character (not that stupid penguin), it would be much more popular even if it is so user unfriendly and it's a horror to install something.

The Linux-tans are not the best but at least Ubuntu got a Manga: "Ubunchu"
see: http://seotch.wordpress.com/ubunchu/

Episode 01: “Ubunchu” has come along!
Episode 02: CLI with gnomes!
Episode 03: Still not the time for the Forum?

theme download: http://nebs66.livejournal.com/1036607.html ( http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SQEG5XL4 ) or WinXP ver. http://www.kickasstorrents.com/windows-7-madobe-nanami-os-tan-for-win-7-english-version-t3130099.html
you can extract it like it would be a zip file, then you have access to all the sounds and wallpapers -then it can be used even for XP, but the wav files have to be converted to a wav file again (i.e. with http://www.formatoz.com/), because the original wav files XP cannot play.

the virtual -tan girl can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mr3mzogmdrn/nanami.rar ( source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tu2ExyTt4g&feature=related )

PS: what if Matrix would run on Windows:

Hi, I looked at this picture and I had a crazy idea: how would a dakimakura (i.e. see) robot work ?

A funny robot in the shape of a pillow. The mechanics and electronics would be inside a pillow, so it would be still soft. The otaku could change covers for it It would be bendable, it could talk with him, it could move/bend by itself a bit, it would have a camera (somewhere). It would be some crazy robot but I wonder how otakus would like it

Or look at these case mods:
http://www.walyou.com/blog/2009/04/12/anime-girls-computer-case-mods/
http://www.techdigest.tv/2008/06/_when_i_was_at.html
If the dakimakura robot would have a mini personal computer inside, it could be called otaku's first persocom

interesting some of the video.

Hi, this is not directly about anime robots but it shows the posibility of the market...

according www.sankakucomplex.com:
A fitness video Training with Hinako offers otaku the chance to keep fit with the aid of an appealing anime girl.
Hinako will lead the viewer in a variety of daily exercise routines, assuming he can concentrate and keep both hands free.
Exercises include squats, sit-ups and push-ups. In order to provide variety in what are intended as daily exercise videos, some 30 variations are included, utilising cosplay and similar.

Maybe an anime tamagotchi girlfriend would not be a bad idea for Nintendo DSi maybe ?

The virtual maid is like the ps3 eye pet software very cool technology,
The pillow stuf are freaky and weird.
Hinako uhm (^_-) who want that.
The windows 7 theme is certainly an playfull interresting new way
of having an o/s for looks more fun.
Especially knowing that windows 7 has powerfull tech support tools
to use for robotic development also I think this is microsoft best O/S ever,
Well only if u use the Pro and ultimate version.
Do not go for starter , home or premium they mis out on good stuff.
I will have a post about what interresting stuff is in w7 to use.

I have to disagree with you there (from a privacy standpoint).
I hate all things that record information without your consent, and in this case without your knowledge of it happening.
Window Media Player 11, IE7, Bing, GoDaddy, the MSN network (included in Windows 7), and Google Chrome (which includes Google Books, Google Street View, Google Earth, Google Desktop, and gMail) all do it (Google Chrome shows nag screen for Youtube subscription)!

I meant IE8 not IE7, but IE7 is just as bad.

... the ronery otaku ... but maybe it would not be a bad idea if it would be really an anime fitness video

Enjoy the technology:

You mean like this?

My bad:

... I mean if they would look and move like in the videos - at least if they would move faster and more natural than the Honda robots and co.
And such Luka-bot would be nice.

And of coarse it should not be like this: ...at least it has a nice costume

Hi guys
If you ever wondered how to make a low cost humanoid robot companion, here are some videos how it is done. Enjoy
The rebirth of DFC virtual diva into a chobit:
With some tweaking it would be even better than the HRP-4C (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdnAxvus_Co) (this one at least looks and sings better)
She is missing one important anatomical part so she cannot be mass manufactured yet can you guess what it is ?

Hello all.

Thanks to someone i found this topic

I got good news.

First of all: i'm making my own miku robot *humanoid* * life-size planned on starting 21 june however due to parts not being here on time, (i'm almost sure they won't make it on time) and alot of appointements suddenly i start 25 june.

Second: I Figured out how they did the miku live hologram for a while now.
Im Recreated it at home with success.

I did it quickly though and I'm going to do it in alot bigger scale later on and with the better special screen *I know where to get it and make it.

However here's a *not the fully correctly setup (as I said I did it quickly)



And i made my own Miku model which can surely be compared to the one of miku live (not the one in the picture)
It's still not fully finished (worked on it for months already)

Just for fun: Some off the stuff i got from miku: (I'm Planning on buying a hell lot more, (this is all what i bought after 2 anime conventions)
(which were just one week from each other)
(so in short: bought in 2 weeks)



Oh right and this is the making of mikufes (nearly the same as miku thanksgiving):
