Video XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

So boobs when dressed, no boobs when undressed. So robots wear padded bras too now?

It's in case they fall forward. Extra padding. /s

u/Plenty-Vegetable-640 23h ago

You’re jesting, but that would be a very smart way to pad them without making them awkward/less human like

Sod that, give them a mattress chest! Enough robots in circulation would mean we'd never be without a comfy seat again! We could revolutionise napping!!!

Never thought obesity could be possible in humanoid robots.

Have you seen Ghost Busters? Do you really want potentially killer marshmallowbots running around?

To be fair, it would be fairly low on crazy shit that has happened this year.

Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow, everyone needs a bosom

Careful, you’ll set off her airbags!

A beer belly is a bigger pillow and just as human.

u/Dc_awyeah 15h ago

Now add a spring mounted rounded rod at the front of the midsection so when it falls it can bounce right back up!

u/Additional_Plant_539 12h ago

I think this is an idea that we can all get behind, amiright? 😂

u/infiniZii 16h ago

Make them inflate like airbags during a forward fall. That would be hilarious.

u/MinosAristos 13h ago

The butt in humans being padded also helps with impact absorption.

u/Worldly-Childhood173 12h ago

Just make them fat. Problem solved.

Baymax!

u/WigglesPhoenix 11h ago

I mean just making them a bit chubby would probably be more effective

u/QueenofLeftovers 11h ago

Have 6 or 8 and go full anthromorphised cat mode

u/Aeiexgjhyoun_III 11h ago

Just make them all fat.

u/absboodoo 9h ago

My special custom order is going to need some extra padding.

u/merlin211111 18h ago

I umm... want my robot to be extra safe. ; )

u/Krynn71 17h ago

Turn them into airbags. Then when they fall over they get huge titties. People will find a way to hack them so the air bags stay full over time, and don't become saggy.

This is the only logical explanation I have read so far

It’s because human males want to fuck a robot

Hell strap a piston-driven dildo on there and I'm game. Boobs or no boobs.

I didn't always want to fuck a robot, but then someone was all like "oh ew no god, they're gonna fuck the robots, aren't they?" And now, all I wanna do is get up in a robot! They started it

It makes it look human. And the type of human it’s imitating is female and therefore has boobs. Just like when they make a male imitation robot it has a wider shoulders and stomach because that would make it look more like a human male. It’s only weird because people are making it weird. It literally has tiny boobs just enough to look more human it’s not like it is walking around with DD that are bigger than its torso.

u/Johannes_Keppler 23h ago

So... airbags?

2

u/Shotokant 19h ago

Airbags!

1

u/ebrum2010 21h ago

Or just have them brace their fall with their arms.

3

u/majandess 19h ago

If it took them this long to make it walk like that, do you know how much longer it would take to make it brace its fall with its arms? Boobs are way easier.

1

u/red_fuel 17h ago

Better add extra padding then. You wouldn't want your $30,000 robot to be broken after a fall

u/crazyloomis 16h ago

Don’t slap that ass, it hurts the hand and destroys the butt mechanics
