TOKYO - 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.

Might need to be a little bigger methinks.

Eventually robots will act as companions, and there is no reason why they should not. I'm thinking more a long the lines of, someone to talk to and hang out with, more than I am re the *** partner. But we are a long long way from these things happening.

Are those used panty vending machines not doing it for Japanese guys anymore, so they need robots?

That's actually an interesting question. According ot some research, the closer a robot gets to looking like a human, the more repulsive it becomes.

their face looks like anime but its fair enough if it has everything a man needs.
