Could always build it yourself, too. They do accept custom jobs for stuff like that, though. If you can't find something online (and a quick check says you probably can), it's likely a local shop of appropriate nature would have someone they can get you in contact with.

I did not expect, that gun lobby can be so stronk.  ???
that's ridiculous. F the NRA.
Welcome the USA, where old people block SocSec reform until the system collapses, foreign states buy politicians, and commercialized murder has a stronger political voice than the people killed by it.

If you ever wonder why politicians don't seek reform in this industry or that, the answer probably lies in their list of top contributors.

Slightly late response, but:
May be it is selflearning -snip-?
That would be an actually legitimately difficult problem, because 1) it first needs to be able to do, well, things, which rapidly increases the engineering costs, and 2) in order to learn to be "better", it needs to have some feedback on what is "better" and what is "worse", which would mean that you have to also equip it with a variety of sensors or connect it to an already pre-existing sensor network, and then somehow convert that raw sensor data into a single "goodness" number, which is a really difficult problem that would require a specialized knowledge engineer with good grasp on the subject to spend quite some time configuring the learning process.

One can appreciate the difficulty of all those things by noticing that humans, with their highly versatile and mobile bodies, high-powered mental processor and a good insider grasp on the problem of distinguishing between "positive" and "negative" feedbacks, can still occasionally fail to perform acceptably.

I guess you could approximate "better" by direct user feedback after the experience. Design a form which needs to be filled out each time user has a session, use the form responses (probably on an integer scale) as features. It would work like ass, given that we have a whole bunch of response variables, but we might design a set of feedback questions for each response variable, and leg it from there.

Hence the "specialized knowledge engineer with subject knowledge" part. It's actually pretty difficult to do this right, since with learning machines, "bigger" (in a sense of adding more response variables) is not necessarily better, culling the irrelevant stuff often vastly improves the learner's performance, since it stops mistaking accidental statistical flukes for real dependencies.

I've thought about this and I guess I haven't expressed myself correctly in the first place. Our response variable is "user enjoyment", whether given directly, inferred using some kind of biometric sensor, or calculated from a weighted questionnaire - and our features are things like "length", "thickness", "vibration intensity", "bump arrangement" (probably actually a bunch of binary features of the form "bump_at_(x,y)=(0,1)", or onehot-encoded preset arrangements) and so on. We are building the shiny, hi-tech shapeshifting robot dick of the future, after all.
And with this approach, we can't really reduce the feature vector too much since then it wouldn't be the shiny and high-tech, right? If we're only modifying, say, intensity of vibration, then we're useless because the user could have gotten the same result by just turning a dial until comfortable, right?

Sorry if the previous post was a little all over the place, I had a bit of a brain fart there.

I'm sorry, I just can't not meta-WTF over the fact that this discussion is even occurring.

Hey, I can stop if this is too lewd. I tried to be as detached and technical as possible, but, well.
