Japan makes robot girlfriend for lonely men
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25209226//wid/11915829?GT1=40006
She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.
A Japanese firm has produced a 15-inch tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around $175, with a target market of lonely adult men.
Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named "EMA" puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "love mode."
"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys.
"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."
EMA, which stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization, can also hand out business cards, sing and dance, with Sega hoping to sell 10,000 in the first year.
Japan, home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots, envisions a $10-billion market for artificial intelligence in a decade.
I'm sure we already know about the so called Real Doll. I wonder how long it will be until someone makes the Robot Girlfriend more, uh, interactive and combines it with Real Dolls?
Finally, is anyone surprised something like this came out of Japan? I'm sure not... |

I like women with smaller, cuter feet.

It's been done. Don't think that the Japanese for one second haven't already thought of that. But marketing the robot to the wider public, that's another challenge. |

When it comes to Lee Hyori, there is no substitute for the real thing (that's a 'no') |

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Who wants a "girlfriend" the size of an American Girl doll? |

The robot should be ok as long as it has a big mouth opening and your peepee isnt longer than 15 inches. |
