The weight is mainly in the material. TPE is dense stuff. The skeleton is really not the underlying problem imo.gateman wrote:What is the weight of the skeleton vs the weight of the TPE for say a 40kg doll?

Re: TPE DOLLS 30 PER CENT WEIGHT REDUCTION ACHIEVEMENT
I, like you, look forward to robotic in order to solve the problems of weight manipulation and lack of life in our darlings.maddmatter70 wrote:so what would be the "perfect" solution is to leave the weight and increase the mobility, through weight distribution or a little anamatronic locomotion or something. for me anyway. "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." - Archimedes
The best assistance to the displacement of our dolls (and the cheapest) is still for now the devices builded in serie for the disabled persons(lifter, wheelchair preferably stair climbing)
As far as robotic is concerned:
The first almost available system is the animated head face with AI to chat the way you like it together with a heated body with touch sensors.(AI-tech doll)It is expensive.
However we must still wait for a full automous robot.
Furthermore,full autonomous robots able to INTERACT PHYSICALLY and make love to an human are one further step away. When SAFE (they are heavy and strong) and perfect, they will probably have the price tag of a small car when produced in series.

Re: TPE DOLLS 30 PER CENT WEIGHT REDUCTION ACHIEVEMENT
I call that pre-robotic improvements but that is a question of price. When the manufacturers will really perceive a profitable market for that improved product they will be able to do it quite easily. However now they all try to keep their prices quite competitive.maddmatter70 wrote:Well I was thinking more along the lines of well balanced real standing skeletons, with adjustable joint tightness and fingers and toes that would actually help

Provided that the reduction of material doesn't result in a weaker body overall, or future maintenance issues, of course.

Re: TPE DOLLS 30 PER CENT WEIGHT REDUCTION ACHIEVEMENT
So my money sits idle, waiting for this weight reduction technology to kick in. Meanwhile I sit there frustrated, looking all of the wonderful dolls that I could be photographing, but am not, purely based on them being too heavy.
