I have an idea for actual conversion to be a fembot, it still uses wetware but hey actual robotics and brain scanners seem to me like they are still a ways off in the future...
Now first of I do like fembots a lot but I want to own one, not be one.
My idea is fairly practical and can be prototyped in a weekend or 2 of hacking (I'm a programmer and electronics specialist).
OK so the idea is basically you take a EEG like the "emotive epoch" and teach it to recognize obedience and hard working vs disobedience and sloth in a subject (should be possible with a willing subject).
I would rig a small embedded computer (like an olimex allwinner a20/raspberry py/beaglebone)to provide the subject with tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and serving its master (if any), etc plan a reasonably full day schedule.
As the computer commands the fembot to be to do the various tasks, willingness is registered and whether she is working hard and focused. Tasks will be communicated to the subject using audio cues and text on a small screen in the peripheral view. This allows for easy scripting of commands.
Any stray thought will be punished via electric shock(or other minor pain giving technique), any good behavior rewarded via vibrator, This will create a Pavlovian response in the subject.
All resistance will be slowly worn away It will learn to love to obey its computer control program and it's master (if any), and all personality will be erased. (I hope/think)
Facial expressions (forcing a blank face) and vocal communication can also be addressed in various ways, I further imagine adding an exoskeleton for position tracking for more posture/movement control but this will be up to the bots to choose, unless they can't anymore.
There would also have to be a charging station where the electrical components are charged and later maybe biological waste is taken out and fuel is put in the fembot(I'm thinking soilent, google that). I imagine a Borg like alcove but where the parts that house the electronics and belts that hold them lock into so the fembot is restrained during this time. and ordered to sleep or think of nothing.
An auditory feedback should be added to allow the bot to know why it is being punished for faster learning (especially in the beginning)
Now an EEG on the head would be ugly I think and too easily removed (sure punishment for removal or disconnection can be added to discourage it).
But for epilepsy research implants that go under the scalp are already used, so given time this can be developed into a quite neat package, but there would need to be a proof of concept first.
If any FEMALE fembots are interested to try this, (this would mean coming here and becoming my test fembot, giving up your normal life, at least until the test is positive or negative), contact me on skype: bla.arg with the contact request "fembot reporting for duty" we'll discuss it then. there will be costs involved for me so, components time feeding fembots.
If there is any interest in this It will be built. I do intend to develop it as open source, but possibly not initially since you need a lot of specific hardware and not to mention willing wetware(people) to be able to debug it.
Help (especially with the medical side of things) would be appreciated!

if there is medium interest I might do a kick-starter to see if this can be a product.
if there is a lot of interest I don't know, start a hotel staffed by fembots? nowhere cleaner on earth

Note that this setup can has legitimate medical uses, such as forcing someone off drugs, smoking and alcohol.
I welcome thoughts and critiques but please only from those who actually have used EEG's know enough about psychology, etc to tell me why this wouldn't work and not just flame this as a crazy idea.
I know it is hence the prototype stage.
Also where else should this notice be posted for maximum exposure?
P.S: I came up with this together with a girl that wanted this, and the disappeared... but I think the idea is too good to pass up.
P.P.S: I do mean female, because I do not want to be dealing with horny boys if the reward system goes a bit overboard, too hetro for that.
P.P.S: since the training the computer to recognize brain patterns has to happen for every user and that alone will take weeks I don't think this can be used on an unwilling subject.
