Japanese woman robot

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, well you haven’t. Made by Sega, this 15-inch woman robot is actually being marketed in Japan as a friendly companion for lonely guys. Known as EMA, Eternal Maiden Actualization, this battery-powered robot diva can distribute business cards, dance and even pucker up for a kiss. Sega expects to sell 10,000 EMA robots in the next year, priced at $175 each. In addition, Sega seems quite optimistic about the demand for artificial intelligence, predicting multi-billion dollar demand in coming years. I think this is a nifty gadget, but I’m still wondering what happened to the old idea of getting a dog?
