Japan's Humanoid Hottie

Story:
Japan, home to robot babies, musicians and pets, now has its first humanoid
hottie - Sega's E.M.A.

Short for Eternal, Maiden, Actualization, the 38 centimetre, curvaceous
cyborg blows kisses, sings and shakes its grooved things.

Using infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel offers
smooches to nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "Love
Mode".

Sega's Minako Sakanoue says target consumers are men over 20.

SOUNDBITE: MINAKO SAKANOUE, MEDIA AFFAIRS, SEGA TOYS:
"She's very loveable and though she's not a human, she can act like
a real girlfriend."

Japan, home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots, envisions
a $10 billion A.I. market in a decade.

E.M.A, who also hands out business cards, will strut her way to Japanese
store shelves by September for about $175, and Sega hopes to sell 10,000 of
the adult-oriented androids within a year.

"Even though she isn't human she can act like a real girlfriend." Japanese have no idea what real girlfriends are for.
