Answer 1

Answer 2

I think this one will do ! 

Answer 3

Wait a minute!

Why do the girl robots up above have smooth jaw joints, unlike all their other (visible) joints? And I have my suspicions about certain other joints...

I didn't build them, TOT. I also would have preferred a brunette, but hey, the internet is sometimes lacking.

Here's a brunette.  Oh, wait... you'll have to wait until 2035 to buy her.

Adriana Lima is worth the wait!

@T(h)ink

Lol - I would have too - !

@ XIX and Marianne: 

Answer 4

First for functionality, then for the aesthetics:

Comments

The robot below seems to be missing an important function. 

---

Lol - .

---

Shades of "Ken"!

---

The one with Barbie, the "real life couple", or the one who likes black humour?

---

Ken of "Ken & Barbie" fame

---

Lol - I prefer that.  

I remember that there were some TV series about bionic characters, Steve

and Jaime

or

But a real-life prototype looks less attractive:

@ Marianne:

Um, well... maybe the prototype bionic man is an interesting conversationalist.

@T(h)ink

Lol - maybe, maybe not; that depends on their attitudes and on how far we need to programme them - or rather not?

Sometimes, one should not try to improve or correct nature, robots and things too much - otherwise, they might worsen or fail.

For you:

You remember Lichtenberg's hilarious creation "verschlimmbessern"?

Answer 5

I can't post a picture of what my ideal robot would look like because the image would get removed by moderators on this site.  That should be a hint of what I want my robot to look like...if I were to make one.

Answer 6

I want one that looks like Cortana sounds...

What would Mrs. Didge say about that?

Mrs Didge knows that it's all in my imagination anyway. *Sniffle*

Lol, well, Didge, you can always dream about your grouse mechanical sheila.
