TECH SPECS HOLY MOLEY If you don’t have time to cook but long for a home cooked meal, then start saving your pennies for Moley. For $92,000, you can have your own full-time robotic kitchen chef that cooks and cleans up after. Projected for release in 2018, Moley will cook you one of its programmed recipes with the touch of a button. Celebrity chefs like Gordan Ramsay and Emeril Lagasse are not fans, stating to make a great meal you must use human senses, such as smell and taste, that a robot cannot replicate. However, Moley’s CEO claims the more the robot cooks, the more feedback is received from the diner. The robot will quickly “learn” what tastes best. www.moley.com ROBOCOP Dubai police are planning to hire a new cop to its force – a robot cop, sometime in 2017. Currently, there is only set to one release, but the goal is to intergrade a full force by 2020. This robot cop will be far from the Robocop’s, Alex Murphy, but that doesn’t mean it will be in the future. For now, the Dubai robot cop can salute, shake hands, scan faces, and allow people to report crime and pay fines for traffic violations through its touchscreen. They are working to have it follow voice commands and spot people from meters away, approach them, and greet them by the GITEX Expo 2020. SEXY TIME It is stated that by 2050, human and robot relationships will outweigh human to human. Creater of Real Doll, Abyss Creations, is jumpstarting that trend in 2017. By next year, people will be able to buy a humanlike lover for $15,000. The sex robot will feature heating elements to simulate body warmth, warmed genitalia areas, and electronic sensors so the robots can react with artificial pleasure as their owner/lover caresses their synthetic skin. For those who enjoy a little dirty talk, the robots will also talk to their lovers in an attractive, sexy voice. THE HOLIDAY ISSUE l VILLE l 15
