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.

I'll return to these threads whenever there's a robot that can give a decent blowjob.

Japan is decades ahead of the curve when it comes to the anthropomorphizing and sexualizing of inanimate objects.

If in 10 years where the tech has advanced to make the robots look & sound realistic from a distance, you'll see a lot of weird ass stories about guys using sexbots in public where they turned it to the "rape" setting where it screams and shit so the police arrested them since they thought they were raping the "women". Then you'll see people banned from using sexbots if they use them in public and then an underground ho-bot movement run by geek-pimps will emerge. there will be a very weird future for japan.

fearful of the public embarrassment these artificial women could make, japan sent them to the US. but when sex bots didn't want to be deported they just blended in.

Ichirou was an officially sanctioned bot hunter whose job was to find rogue sex bots, and to rape them. but when cornered, sex bots tended to rape back, with deadly results

If Sega is making this to raise money for Daytona USA 3, I'll order a hundred of those, thanks.

I'll give you that part about "petite". That thing makes midgets look like Andre the Giant.

If the amount of hostess clubs, soaps and healths out there is any indication, the market for lonely men in Japan is huge.

that would make a really good short story. or another shitty Pahlaniuk book.

Well it'd have a bunch of sweaty men and a segment on aftermarket orifices so it'd be basically the same as fight club anyways. but with japanese.

Is there an option for people to disable pooping? Perhaps an add-on?
