Samsung’s Android-driven humanoid robot that hugs people (9to5google.com) 14 points by arpit 14y ago ↗ HN
[–] leeoniya 14y ago ↗ i would be terrified of the slippery slope.1. robot that can hug2. robot that can perform the heimlich maneuver3. robot that will crush you with some tweaked / injected paramsi'd argue there is no place at all for this kind of faux emotion/interaction in robots, it's just creepy.
[–] nickels 14y ago ↗ To apologize for it's operating system. I have a Samdroid, and it doesn't hug me, probably because it can't hold a charge for more than 4 hours. [–] bitwize 14y ago ↗ root that shit and put a custom rom on like ACS ICS.your mind will boggle when you see it lasting for a whole DAY -- like, 24 hours. [–] angryasian 14y ago ↗ don't feed the trolls here. I get 2 days with heavy usage on a 2 year old phone with a crappy battery.
