    Her helmet reminds me of the movie Tron. They sure are getting more advanced with these robots, pretty soon people will be dating someone only to find out at some point the other person is a robot!

    Its (maybe her) move seems to be very smooth except a little noise. Someday we can't see difference betweeen human or robot.

    The hands -are- ugly. As for robot lovers, I think a Japanese living in America already made his own companion robot that can do various things. He has also mentioned it is 'anatomically correct', but that's not what he uses her for...

    Big Hands? Probably a new-half robot. They are so much into it.

    Yeah, you can thank Mel Brooks for "Anne Droid" (Space Balls, the movie). Terrible film with great one-liners. "I'm a Mawg, half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend."

    saborichan,

    ... I think a Japanese living in America already made his own companion robot that can do various things. He has also mentioned it is 'anatomically correct', but that's not what he uses her for...

    Actually, I believe the robot inventor is Vietnamese Canadian. He called the robot Aiko. Japanese name but the Ai probably stands for artificial intelligence. Great name... why didn't the Japanese think of that?

    injapan,

    I hope so! Imagine the savings and lack of whining/crying/complaining. There would be no need for real women at all, except to do some housework a few hours a week.

    How 'bout a built-in fridge with a beer pump. Leave the housework for the girlfriend – those big clumsy hands would do more damage than clean.
