The Robot lover for Catknight

TOKYO - She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs
on batteries.
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.

Too bad she's plastic. Is this the advent of a society whom Adam
and Eve can't relate anymore?
