Oh my god.Trust the Japanese to come up with this. The Japs have wonderful inventions, the famous lap-pillow, for example.
I remember watching a Jap animation movie about an android created to function as a sex toy. Seems like its becoming reality...
Seriously, why is it "important" to have a robot look human? It has "flexible silicone for skin, and a number of sensors and motors that make her react in a human-like manner." And, "It can respond to people touching it. It's very satisfying ..."
Here's more. Prof Ishiguru, who created the android, believes the android can pass off as a human, if only for a brief period:
An android could get away with it for a short time, 5-10 seconds. However, if we carefully select the situation, we could extend that, to perhaps 10 minutes...
What situation? Pardon me if I'm thinking down the wrong path...
Wow. ten years down the road, blow-up dolls will be obsolete.
