HRP-4C Bridal Droid

You all know I love robots. But this bridal droid unnerves me.

It’s easy to create a 2-D fantasy nowadays, even edit film or produce 3-D moving images of perfection. But when we get our hands on tactile materials and attempt to construct an interactive fantasy…something goes terribly wrong.

I’m disturbed by the look on this robot bride’s face. If anything could prove that robot sentience exists, it’s THIS expression (which I interpret as “assaulted”). I dare say it’s a grim foreshadowing for this poor bot, if she ends up in the hands of a feisty fetishist.

Solidifying the creepiness is this runway clip, complete with Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” (hardly a traditional selection for either fashion OR matrimony).
