Humper

Humper, the robotic whore, was initiated in 1994 in San Francisco by Frank Garvey and Carl Pisaturo. Version 2 began at Carnegie Mellon University in 1999, a work by Frank Garvey with technical assistance by Todd Camill. Jim Schubert, Dave Belotti and Steve Hoffman did the amazing machining; and Eric Kenyon did the welding. Her locomotion method, as befits her profession, is walking - she walks forwards and backwards and steers from her hips, like many of us. Humper has a 20,000 volt stungun circuit embedded in her genitals. She knows how to sell it but she don't come cheap.
