Lisa the Perfect Woman Robot: Real or Fake?
46 Comments By Eran Abramson on May 28th, 2008 in Robots
I know many that dream of having a female robot to take care of them. Whether it is the cooking, cleaning, or bedroom antics, having a humanoid robot to tend to your needs is a fantasy and AI Robotics claim to have created this Perfect Woman.
The video below presents Lisa, this perfect woman, and their site offers a few different looks to choose from. Shopping for Lisa or the others will be available on the 15th of June, 2008.
But c’mon, can this be any more of a hoax?
The video below presents Lisa and her amazing life-like quality; a little too life-like if you ask me. In addition, they claim it has been 3 years in the making…ONLY 3 Years? Wow, these guys must be the smartest men in the room within the smartest men. Is Artificial Intelligence even close to such a stage, let alone providing an actual choice of robots?
After you watch the video, I bet you can list many more reasons why this is fake, or do you actually think it’s real?

Looks to me like theinside of her mouth is either really shiny, or wet. Not to mention she has perfect hand. You know, one of the jhardest things to reproduce accurately?
May 28th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
The building listed in this hoax’s Web site contact info does not appear to exist. Or at least, there’s no building listed in online directories with that address.
May 28th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Pfft. It’s obviously a joke. Only a supreme idiot would think they’re actually trying to pretend this is real.
May 29th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
She can talk therefore she cannot be the perfect woman.
May 29th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
It is fake. She sways slightly from side to side when she’s standing upright. And of the 100,000,000 men who are single, how many could actually afford this perfect (but undoubtedly NOT anatomically correct) robot?
May 29th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
It’s a real robot, but it probably isn’t as complete as the video leads you to believe. I’ve seen more advanced AI and more realistic robotic faces than what was displayed here, but that robot did not have a functional body.
May 29th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Well if they’re going to make a woman robot… they should have at least made a prettier looking robot than that one.

I hate Asians, they stiffed me last night. Also, it’s impossible to take their order because their “Engrish” is so bad. STUPID CHINKS!!

asians dont talk to girls, they make them! its real

When she says “Hello you” Her larynx flexes along with her sternocleidomastoid muscle…sorry…she is human posing as an android.

The problem is the IMPOSSIBILITY of this robot to have an equilibrated balance, if the robot try to put his pant the robot will fall down on the floor, or to go on stairs, will fall down!
June 3rd, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Date is reported for mid July, for the Flue of thoses robots, can be transmitted to humans, do when the quaranteened passed, you’ll enjoy Lisa for your holidays.
June 8th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Yes, the larynx is a bit of a giveaway I think, still I did email to ask how they expected anyone to pre order when they give no clue what the cost is. That seems to me to be very good reason to suspect this is either a hoax or else a ploy by some dating agency who will reply, “Okay, so we were joking, but we may be able to help you find your perfect woman”.
On the other hand I would buy one, has to be cheaper than divorcing a real woman. The downside is that since they can use the internet to communicate it probably won’t be long before they form their own liberation movement.
And having removed the headache excuse we will no doubt get “Not tonight dear, I need a recharge”, and then there’s the monthly oil change I suppose, preceeded by several days of whining servos and grinding gears.
Notice we did not see any walking - hmm and what does it weigh?
There really is a LIREC project http://www.lirec.org/ so in a way I hope it is true (and that they do financing) but if not that it is aimed at genuine research and not just dishonest.

That is hilarious. Even the so called inventors are trying not to laugh.

No reply to my question yet, but if you guys could help explain to my girlfriend that I was just interested from a purely scientific point of view it would help…

There is a remake of the film “Perfect Woman” coming out at an unspecified date during 2008. All the websites refer to the robot as the perfect woman. The release of the “robot” is a month away so it could be an attempt at viral marketing. If we see similar ads pop up in newspapers and on the tv about half a month before release it probably means its a film. This also explains why the shop on ai robotics website isnt actually open and why the website itself is called perfectwoman.net rather than airobotics.net
June 10th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Regrettably this looks like a hoax. There’s been a lot of discussion about cooking robots recently, and I understand that the technology is just not there yet. Soup from a can is about the most advanced meal that a robot can prepare. The model in this video also appears to have difficulty in standing perfectly still and maintaining identical poses. I hope that some day that such a robot will be possible, but AI technology is not moving as quickly as people once imagined. A command driven humanoid robot will surely exist within this century, but one which can function with reasonable autonomy? Surely not.

It’s just Philips electronics they are in bankrupcy, that
June 13th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
So what was at that address, nothing or some other company?
June 15th, 2008 at 1:50 am
hi guys, i have to say that could be real since in the website they release that it is not still possible to order, and i think it is honest sign, well good luck to anyone.

El sitio es http://www.perfect-woman.com
The website is (look above)

It’s a merchandising resourse by philips and nivea

I told you Philips is in Bankrupcy that’s why they tried by any way to not going soon in bankrupcy.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Yo te lo habia dicho Philips esta cerca de hacer banca rota! Por eso, tratan de hacer todo por evitar la banca rota.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Comme je l’ai déjà dis, je le répète que Philips est en Banqueroute et pour essayer de l’éviter, Philips essaie tout pour essayer de survivre à la banqueroute inévitable.
June 17th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Okay I am confused, do you mean they intend to take orders for a product they cannot supply or are they claiming their products will turn a less than perfect woman into a robotic goddess?
Are we talking Nivea cosmetics and Philips Electronics here? What are they thinking if so?
Merci pour translation, ma Francais n’est pas bon
But you can guess that, right?
So how does this help them survive bankruptcy, makes them look like jackasses IMHO.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
if you watch the website video it’s a joke…
she explodes at the end…
November 4th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Yeah this is for real, you dont have to be an idiot to KNOW that this is actually a robot, because her lips is not wet its just the lip gloss who makes them looks shiny and wet, so sorry folks who dont belive in nothing but this is actually real..
November 4th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
or..im not quite sure anymore actually, after looking at your comments :P, i dont know what i should belive anymore..
November 8th, 2008 at 2:39 am
she looks fake and real she looks fake by the hands but the face the lips and bodytype look as real as me look closely in her mouth and her tongue moves at the letter(L)when she said”hello you im lisa”but my opinion is ……………
i dont know they got me fooled
November 8th, 2008 at 2:41 am
this really could be true though because why would someone buy a real woman?
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:10 am
Sure if it were real this android could very sell and make millions in profits but that can only go so far. In reality there’s nothing more attractive than a confident and flirty, yet sweet and beautiful girl and no robot/android can mimic human emotions like a real life human can. All you girls out there who are looking to reel in guys easily, take note of this. I hear this stuff all the time from many other guys as well is it being my own opinion. You can be HOT as HE// but, if you’re a B#%&@ it just doesn’t matter, that is, unless you’re looking for a one night stand, then it doesn’t matter. No man will complain about a hot girl being all over them BUT, if a guy is looking for a REAL relationship, not that fake few weeks or couple of months crap, then a he is going to want that nice girl with all those attractive qualities. And also to all you girls and women out there, if you think that you’re not beautiful or hot enough or whatever it is you think that you’re not enough of, forget about because no matter how attractive a lot of guys might think a girl is, there is always someone out there who has a different taste and will think otherwise. It’s not your fault and besides, if you’re a nice girl and you know it, others know it, and you know others know it, whether you think you’re hot or not, just go out there and give it a try. If it’s meant to be, then it will work, if not, then you have a whole world of people out there somewhere out there is that perfect person for you. It’s not a fairy tale like many people think. Those people who think that way are just afraid to put themselves out there and take a chance to find their perfect match. It can definitely hurt to be rejected but everything happens for a reason and if it does happen to you, well it may just be a window of opportunity for the perfect person to come and genuinely comfort you. USUALLY, if it feels wrong it is and vice versa. Sometimes you can fool yourself into thinking the person you’re with is the right one because you’re just looking for that feeling of comfort and when people tell you that your relationship won’t work out and you also know it won’t work but you stay with that person anyway just to keep that feeling of having someone around, well don’t complain when everybody tells you, “I told you so.”. But even then, don’t give up because I guarantee and promise you that that special person is out there. Girls don’t be scared of guys and guys, don’t be scared of girls. Try looking for each other in grocery stores or parks. Maybe even libraries. In all honesty, how many people do find looking for a REAL relationship at a bar, party or club? Well, all I can do is “tell it like it is”, you’re the one who has to go out and put what you know to good use. You can do it!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS and good luck to everybody out there looking for their perfect “non-robotic” guy or girl.

That JUST an example though. SOMETIMES, if it feels wrong, then it is and vice versa. (Emphasis on the SOMETIMES.)

Well, all I can do is “tell it like it is”, you’re the one who has to go out and put what you know to good use. REMEMBER, NOBODY IS PERFECT and you don’t have to think that you have to be to make someone happy. If they don’t like you, then there is someone out there that does. Just BE YOURSELF and don’t try to be someone or something you’re not. No matter how good you may think you are at playing that game, it WILL eventually catch up to you whether you like it or not. You can do it!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS and good luck to everybody out there looking for their perfect “non-robotic” guy or girl.

as a woman interested in robotics and the complete inability for anyone to come up with a simulant based on reactive artifical muscle stimulation (still using the old rotating servo edition of the robotics cookbook i guess) I was intrigued by the first visions of ‘Lisa’ moving.
I even felt really bad for her when I saw the vacant expression of servileness on her face in some of the clips. However on closer inspection of the doctors I began to ntoice discrepancies. First the two gentleman were supposedly working from japan, so the french accents and french language was a bit odd (though I suppose they could be multilingual) but something about the gentleman taking a question at the end put me off.
So I went to the website. A few clicks in, I was treated to a ‘robo-striptease gone wrong’ and then delightfully on clicking the robot a popup comes up saying (in part) “Women are already Perfect) (though again in french), on the reveal the site is actually a viral ad for Phillips New Electric Razor
Kudos to them for such good work that even months and months later, the viral ad is still causing controversy
I for one will be happy if robot companies move to synthetic muscle stimulation to remove joint movement stiffness, but until then all I have to say is Lisa is something to strive for… but then, there’s only one of her to go around

by the looks of “her”, she is a robot. she can’t walk, and being that her hands move about to appear more realistic, she is constantly compensating on balance to stand up. i seriously doubt this technology has come far enough to be functional enough to serve a purpose in a human home other than impressing your friends with a gadget way cooler than their iPhone.
Secondly, the Japanese have also been working on realistic or simulated female bodies for fantasy/fetish/sexual use. It’s essentially an unanimated physical replacement for an actual human. Not that this robot is one of those, but to combine the two (a functional, trainable robot with ability to customize specific movements, i.e. “handjob”, is technology that hasn’t been stabilized. Even if the technology existed to “teach” a robot such a motion in the privacy of your own home, there is no guarantee that the tension or motion would be consistent enough to be safe. You could be crushed if something went wrong.
Lastly, i believe there will be a growing market for AI robots like this in the real world: some for polite, sexually-unstarved people with special needs, and others for lonely people with even more “special” needs. This will be very expensive. You’d better have a two-car garage if you’re planning on buying one of these. You may, at times, need to store her in the garage beside your Ferrari.

Come on guys! It’s obvious it’s a joke! I’m french, the co-inventor and the robot both have a french accent, I can tell the guy has a tone that means he’s not serious about what he says, as someone said, he’s trying hard not to laugh, he’s definitely having fun.
.
Now ok you might not be able to notice this if not used to the language, but at least look at the robot, she looks too real to be true, her face has all the muscles moving appart under the eyes were she’s the most shiny, she’s just painted and take some robot-like attitude and moves, but even real robots don’t go to these over fluidy movements. Plus she sounds like herself! It’s not a hoax and neither do they pretend that it’s real, they’re having fun oviously. And a quick visit to the website confirms all the doubts.

its fake, if you watch carefully you’ll notice that the female actor shifts balance while trying to maintain her pose, she teeter totters
June 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
God, you people are gullible! Who’s commenting here, a bunch of pubescent boys?? She is a HUMAN, acting as a robot. She just happens to be blessed with perfect, symmetrical bone structure, and flawless skin. Mankind can’t build a robot like this yet, and probably won’t for decades. Why all this wasted time on the ethics, the “love” factor, etc? Why don’t you start a discussion on what life will be like when you move to Mars?? Just as useful.
Note to the ladies, though: obviously there are TONS of men interested in having a robot instead of a “real” woman. If women continue to become more plastic-y and superficial (in other words, robot-like), more men will turn to this when it’s available. If you’re snotty, spoiled, and self-centered, what do you THINK is going to eventually happen?
