Financial TV Media's Worst Nightmare: Robot Cheerleaders
When it comes to the robotization of the workforce - especially those who proclaim they earn less than they are worth - we have grown used to the fast-food-worker being upstaged by technology. However, Murata Manufacturing Co. has unleashed the ultimate threat to every financial TV media's anchor... the world’s first cheerleading robots. With ratings plunging, perhaps it's time for managers to consider the dancing pom-pom carrying machines as replacements to say "off the lows."
As Wall Street Journal reports,
The robots, which Murata showed off Thursday, balance on balls to move around and wave plastic pompons in the air. Gyro sensors inside the robots allow them to stay upright while moving.
...
“They are small girls, but they show what electronics can do,” he said.
The Murata cheerleaders, which are about 36 centimeters, or 14 inches, tall, are not the only new robots on the scene here. Softbank Corp., the Japanese telecommunications giant, plans to make a humanoid robot called Pepper available in stores next year.
While the robots are made of metal and plastic, with hair fashioned from a sponge-like material, the group does have some characteristics that resemble real-life cheerleading squads. There are two backup members, for example.
“If one gets sick, we can substitute her,” said Koichi Yoshikawa, a spokesman for Murata.

At a demonstration in Tokyo, a troupe of 10 of the robots moved around in unison to form circles, squares and heart formations, to the bouncy accompaniment of J-pop music.
* * *
Of course, in reality this could never work... since the robots would inevitably question their sanity as constant cheerleaders... unlike real world money-honeys.

TV has always been a joke. Laugh tracks on comedies. Applause signs for live audiences. People who watch TV are idiots.
They're controlled really well, just like USSA politicians.
Moar automation due to "high wages"?

Wait until sexbot androids replace the whole prostitution industry. Some of those Japanese sex dolls are very disturbing looking.

Crap just cliked the link, oh god, thinking of Murata capcitors, thinking of Murata capcitors, thinking of Murata capcitors, thinking of Murata capcitors, dear god it's full of stars!
Need moar porn.
I miss the days when Erin Burnett looked like she'd been on a romp-a-thon with the back stage crew.
Being a Japanese sort-of-fetish site, I was expecting something "more tentacled", or maybe a Godzilla - Human combination.
Mind you, with the ongoing "slight but entirely manageable" problem called Fukushima Daichii, we may yet see "real, LIVE" versions of this sort of thing cropping up.
Perfect example of the Japanese psychic... sick...
That's why those freaking Japs are going extinct, real sex for the Japanese culture became a "disgusting" habit...
Cheerleaders reversals are the least of things folks are interested in... what a losers...
Must be a monstrous creation of their irradiated brains, cooked by Fukushima rain
Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you: The World's first Post-Apocalyptic Culture! JAPAN!!!
i grew up getting heavy doses of parental-administered TV. i have worked very hard since I woke up in 2011 to reduce tv exposure to zero. it is extremely difficult. i have been able to give up everything except the NHL playoffs, watching the broncos on sunday, and my guiltiest pleasure, south park.
Fatal design flaw.
NO BOOBS.
And big asses.
mmm ... I still prefer those nubile Japanese broadcasters who strip while they speak the news ... at least I think they're speaking; I usually mute the TV, and just 'watch' the news.
I think they call it, the "Naked News."
I would absolutely fuck the circuits out of the one on the left, 3rd one back. She was hot and I think she winked at me. The others are fucking dogs, but the left one 3rd back ... oh yeah baby, balance on my fuckin' balls and bark like a mechanical japanese dog!
and thay can't suck cocks like Maria B did for years on "the Street"...
Use a hose on that.
Risk of "Short Circuit" I suspect.
They should partner with fleshlight
S.O.E. makes a MOLLE compatible pouch for those!

I wanted to say 'that's so sick'...
But I'm not sure what to say.
(double up as a suppressor?)
the japanese should have learnt by now to quit while they are ahead. they have screwed up their own economy and society already. creating robots will just make it all worse if that was possible
what happen to that Fuckushima maskot?
Is that why their eyes glow green?
Whilst green-eyed may be attractive to many, I'm not so sure about "phosphorescent glowing green eyed" - especially in the home of Fukushima!!
If planning to engage this one, you'd be needing an entirely "different" sort of "protection" - one that "matches "her" eyes perhaps??

These would cost too much to take the place of real cheeerleaders. Now the money honeys? No tittytainment.
“They are small girls, but they show what electronics can do,” he said
???? Uh.... what????
It's not a cheerleader unless they give bjs behind the bleachers.
I'm sure they're working on it.
Who coulda known? All this time I thought it was Maria, Sue & Trish. Glad I found out what's what.

"They" seem to lack the polymeric enhancement much favoured by US Human Cheerleaders, in the "upstairs areas". Can't say the glowing green eyes do anything for me either!!
It comes with an integrated flesh light for an extra 100 bucks
How do i know it's not just magnets in the table moving them? i don't.
I have been getting used to plastic tits anyway
Cheerleaders balancing on your balls and singing.....whats not to like ?
They are an improvement over Liesman...
Thanks Tyler. That one completes my day :-))
Hilarious ...
As someone whose profession requires enduring CNBC more than I'd care to admit, it is rather telling that on a day when the market was down 250+ points, they basically ignored it and went with AAPL 'bend-gate' 24 X 7 (other than to march out Pisani once an hour to snark that there was no reason for the silly sell-off), but the days we were up triple digits they chirped nonstop about "rebounds", with Kelly Evans' Good-Witch-of-the-North vocal lilt on the close several semi-tones higher in pitch. Comical.
LOL! I hate TV with a passion and stopped wtaching years ago. The manipulation you mentioned and the endless brainwashing is the main reason. They just lie to everyone about everything.
I still remember a few days back in 1999 era. Going out to lunch at average places where you might have a waitress. One step above say a sub shop for lunch. This was before flat screens on the wall. The little restaurants who have TVs and CNBC on because the "everyone is going to be rich" mentality. People stared at the screen during lunch like they stare at handheld devices these days.
This was not in the NYC tri state area or California or a big city.
At the time and in retrospect it was surreal.
she is such a mindless cunt...
Pretty soon there'll be robotic net-uyoku and this site will only be visited by androids...
Rise of the Machines!!!!!
out of the pom poms come machine guns
