Male Geeks Finally Get Robot Girlfriends
“She’s very lovable and though she’s not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend.”
After years of Sci-Fi films where technology has advanced enough to satisfy our need for love and sex, we are finally starting to see the fantasy become a reality with the release of Japan’s robotic girlfriend.
EMA, Eternal Maiden Actualization, produced by Sega Toys, is 15 inches tall and kisses on command, which is a lot better than the recent release of cell phone robotic friends.
“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.
Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the EMA enters into a sort of “love mode” and will pucker up to kiss any nearby human heads. She can also walk and dance when in the presence of another human being.
The EMA robot will go on sale in September for around $175 and will be targeted towards lonely adult men. Sega is hoping to sell over 10,000 units in the first year.
It is shocking, with the amount of full size robots being developed and how real looking the romantic dolls are, that they did not create a larger and more life-like version than they did.
I guess they figure if they could afford to pay for a life size one, then they probably don’t need it.

SO the gf problem is still hard to solve, as a geek, at the moment you decide to date a robot, women start to think you’re hot, leaving you with the choice of two.

This just proves that some people have way too much time on their hands to not only develop, but to actually carry out a relationship with a robot. Wow! I am certainly glad that I live in California—-Single—-and dating very “real” women.
Hey—-if you came out to California and saw the “Most Beautiful” Women in the world—-you would definitely toss your robot……Guaranteed!

Just because it is called robot girlfriend, it does not make it a sex bot or sex doll. U guys are nuts, think about it, it is a freaking AI operated robot, u should all learn how to appreciate, damn it. I would not make fun of it. By the way, it is ‘it’, not ’she’.

Thanks for your insight, seems your personality is shallower than the robots with comments like “go to hell All of you Asians”. Thats probably why the guys want this piece of trash, finding it more appealing than gals like you.

Well, didn’t Levy write a book about human robot relationships in the future? This is how it starts.
And people, can you honestly tell me that a 50-60% divorce rate, dysfunctional couples (who’re only together for the kids), and the typical drop off in sexual activities of married couples after year no 3 or 4, is making a big stand for normal relationships?
I think what’ll happen is that when animatronics and AI software start to converge, during the next decade or so ’cause these things accelerate after a certain critical mass of development projects, we’ll start to see robot-human couplings and only authentic couples (men and women who’re actually best of friends) will decide to stay together.
