Japan makes robot girlfriend for lonely men

Tue Jun 17, 2008 8:43am

TOKYO (Reuters) - She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.

A Japanese firm has produced a 38 cm (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.

This happened on Buffy :o It didn't turn out well at all!! :o

I saw a documentary on men who were obsessed with their lifesize girl dolls. And I mean obsessed to the point of being completely off their rockers. The dolls weren't robotic, though, so I'm looking forward to the next documentary. :lol:

That was seriously disturbing to watch :lol:

that movie was actually way more serious than I thought it would be. I expected it to be funny but I didn't really laugh much.

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.

hmmmm...if i had one of those.....

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
