Valerie
As reported by Mike Kelly
Androids have been filling the pages of Science Fiction for ages. Some have asked: when will a “true†Android – i. e. - walking, artificial intelligence, speech, etc. etc. be on the market?
When Realdolls hit the market, robotics scientists the world over knew it would be only a matter of time. That day – is now. There is a company in Texas making tomorrow’s dream a reality today (please note that this android is not a sex android and will not function in a sexual manner):
Valerie a Domestic Android
Orders are now being excepted for up to 6 complete and operational Valerie androids for delivery at Christmas of 2004.
Valerie is the most advanced android in the world having more degrees of freedom than any android shown up to now. She uses the AT&T speech synthesizer giving the most human-sounding voice available today. She is also easily the most anthropomorphic android available. She will have a high degree of artificial intelligence due to our proprietary AI software - and a generalized interface to the internet (the only existing super-intelligence).
